Gold level do last. This award is the same for Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Sea Scouts
Each STEM field—science, technology, engineering, mathematics—offers a choice of three Supernova activity topics. These are two-part, hands-on, high-level activities created to challenge you and help you continue along your STEM journey to excellence. Part 1 involves research, preparation, set up, coordination, and/or organization. Part 2 includes elements such as analysis, refection, experimentation, design, or invention, and culminates in a report created by you.
These requirements apply to any specific STEM field of interest chosen by a Venturer or Sea Scout while completing a Nova or Supernova award. Scouts BSA Merit Badge content is encouraged.
