[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STEM Scouts is a thing in this area. BSA with all STEM activities. It looks awesome.[/quote]

As a long time scout parent, I think that’s a bad idea.  Is it for cub scouts or Boy Scouts?  If it’s Boy Scouts, all stem will close them out from Eagle Scouts and other great aspects of the program.  For Cubs, I think it’s just too specialized.  They do plenty of Stem in the usual program.  All stem exclusive scouts group is just marketing to certain parents but silk be detrimental to the overall experience.[/quote]
STEM scouts can be done on top of regular Boy Scouts.

STEM Scouts is like Sea Scouts and Explorers, it is it's own program. It is for kids in grade 3-5 and 6-8. It is a seperate program that can be done with Cub Scouts or a BSA Troop. Ds is going to be participating next year and will continue on with his Cub Scout program.

Some of the skills learned in STEM Scouts will translate to a Pack or potentially badges for a Scout in a Troop.

DS has loved the NOVA program that is a part of Cub Scouts and is super excited for STEM Scouts.

STEM Scouts is also likely to reach a group of kids who have no interest in the traditional activities for Cub Scouts or BSA Troops. It is a totally different program. [/quote]
