Dear Supernova Award Recipients, Award Mentors, and STEM Advocates, 

The Greater St. Louis Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America cordially invites you to attend the 2017 Einstein Recognition Dinner. 

This event is our third opportunity to honor our local Scouts' accomplishments for obtaining a Supernova Award or multiple awards and to recognize our STEM volunteers and sponsors. Supernova Recipients in attendance will receive a token of appreciation from the Greater St. Louis Area Council. 

Thanks to the generosity of the Great Rivers Confluence Foundation, our key sponsor, the event is free for Supernova Award Recipients and one adult per family. Seating is limited, but additional seats can be purchased for $30 for guests of the recipient and all other event attendees. We also want to thank the Saint Louis Science Center for hosting this event in their beautiful planetarium. 

Thanks also to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center for providing one $500 scholarship for our high school level Scouts to apply for. The application is attached on the right of this page to download, and it is due on November 12. The scholarship recipient will be recognized at this event and notified in advance. 

For our Scouts, we want you to look your best. A full and complete Scout or Venturing uniform is preferred. Please wear your Supernova medal(s). If you have outgrown your uniform, a coat or sweater and tie would be appropriate. 

Scouts please provide a description of the science projects or Supernova Activity Topics you worked on during the award experience with your Mentor. 

Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and please plan to arrive by 6:30 p.m.
