Cub Scouts Adventure into the world of STEM!

The Council STEM Team coordinated with Cubmaster Miguel Lopez and Committee Chair Jessica Hernandez-Arana to conduct the BSA STEM Nova Award for Cub Scouts titled Down and Dirty. The award encompasses learning many aspects of geology, including the rock cycle, volcanos, various types of rocks, rock and mineral identification, and learning a bit more about where and how geological work is performed.

The highlight was the experiment that the Cubs conducted to create sedimentary rocks from multiple colors of crayon "sediments." They then turned their sedimentary rocks into magma by creating the "rock cycle." The Council STEM Nova Counselors, Benita Chow, and Scott Carrano melted the sedimentary rocks into magma, then demonstrated how the volcanic flow of lava transformed into new Hawaiian islands as the melted crayons were poured into ice water and formed volcanic rock formations. All the Cubs were so happy to take a piece of their new archipelago with them as a souvenir of their accomplishment as well as their new STEM Nova patch for the completion of the adventure. Congratulations to those 17 Cub Scouts!
