Then, with the unit leader, the Scout can add the new date to the Cyber Chip card or certificate.

Nova Awards
The Boy Scouts of America's NOVA Awards program incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The requirements and activities were designed to stimulate interest in STEM-related fields and show how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them.
|
There are four Nova awards for Boy Scouts - Shoot!, Start Your Engines, Whoosh!, and Designed to Crunch. Each award covers one component of STEM—science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
|
For their first Nova award, Scouts earn the distinctive Nova award patch. After that, a Scout can earn three more Nova awards, each one recognized with a separate pi (π) pin-on device that attaches to the patch. The patch and the three devices represent each of the four STEM topics—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Supernova Awards
The Supernova awards have more rigorous requirements than the Nova awards. The requirements and activities were designed to motivate youth and recognize more in-depth, advanced achievement in STEM-related activities.
