We're planning a trip to Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD for the STEM in SCOUTING day. This was a great event last year with lots of cool science and military stuff. You need to register yourself for the STEM day and then let us know that you were accepted and that you're going. We also need at least one adult who is willing to go for the day and be the "primary contact" for Troop 98. If you're going to STEM, please do these two things:
Some of the merit badges and NOVA awards have prerequisites (meaning there's stuff you need to do before you go) and some don't. Typically, if you do the prerequisites (and bring proof with you) and you participate in the merit badge class and activities, you can complete the badge. You get to work on only one badge or NOVA award for the entire day. Sign up soon as space runs out for some of the most popular badges! We'll do this as a CAMPOUT (but can also offer a DAY TRIP, down and back on the same day, if there's enough interest and adult leaders available):
Cost: $25 for the STEM event (paid to Baltimore BSA when you register) PLUS your share of camping food cost if we camp out (Troop 98 will bill you).

Here's some additional information you need to complete your registration. For the "Responsible Adult" on-site, please use the Scout parent's name for now: | MERIT BADGES OFFERED AT STEM THIS YEAR: *Please note, these badges are an initial list and are subject to obtaining a Merit Badge counselor.
