STEM Scouts tinker, explore and get creative doing hands-on activities in biweekly Lab meetings and occassional field trips. They try new things as they work with others, lead teams, communicate results and work with people in STEM careers.

STEM Scouts was designed by scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory to prepare girls and boys for a future of STEM literacy. Each year, we have 20 hands-on activities and accompanying kits for 5 modules or themes for youth in grades 3-5, and youth in grades 6-8 to explore together in Labs. 

When/Where do we meet?

Labs meet in-person between October - June. We have Labs in Frederick and Rockville, MD; in Washington D.C.; in Alexandria, Springfield, Herndon, VA.  There are plans for more locations, too!

If you have any questions, please reach out to:

Council STEM team at stem@ncacbsa.org  Let us know the grade of your youth and where you are located, so we can best place you to a lab.
