Come join us for the 15th year of STEM in Scouting at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Held in Conjunction with the Installation’s STEM Open House, STEM in Scouting provides Scouts BSA to earn one STEM related Merit Badge while interacting with the Scientists, Engineers, and Soldiers who work on the Installation. Cub Scouts and their families will experience the STEM Open house, which will include hands-on activities, educational demos, large vehicles and other STEM related activities presented by the STEM professionals here on Post. Don’t miss this once a year opportunity to witness the hub of cutting edge science and technology!
