Scouting Encourages Healthy Habits
Scouting programs encourage youth to have healthy habits. They learn about topics such as hand washing, getting enough sleep, and staying away from dangerous substances. Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA (Boy Scouts), and Venturers all learn to take good care of themselves. See some examples below.
Scouts and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
Today’s youth must be familiar with the STEM areas – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – to be prepared for the world of tomorrow. BSA programs offer many opportunities for Scouts to experience STEM activities. The Nova awards for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA (Boy Scouts), and Venturers allow for in depth studies of STEM fields. There are also opportunities for STEM learning in the achievements for each program.
