Jamboree Nova Award Available You know the Jamboree is going to be full of opportunities to exercise your body and challenge yourself physically. But did you know that there will be mental opportunities and challenges as well? For the first time, youth will be able to earn an award for the exploring science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) all around the Jamboree and the Summit. The Jamboree Nova will be available for youth who explore constellations, alternative energy sources, conservation, bridge engineering, flood control, STEM Quest, and more. By visiting two specific program areas, and fulfilling a few requirements in each of the STEM fields, youth will not only learn to appreciate the STEM all around them, they might learn about a hobby or career path they had never considered. This unique award is available to any youth participating in the Jamboree. Full requirements are available and a spreadsheet to help your designated Nova counselor track your scouts’ progress is available at http://jambostem.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/NovaTracking.xlsx . Scouts who complete the Nova should take that information back to their home unit for reporting and purchasing the Nova award patch.
