For the last two years, I’ve been running STEM programming at the council level, and was dubbed Council STEM Chair. As a result, I’m creating this section of my website for upcoming STEM programming that I’ll be running for the Coastal Georgia Council. Feel free to look at what we’re doing and see how you can do it for your own unit, district, or council.
2022 Programs: Earth Tribe
The Earth Tribe is a global program of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. This program was been broken up into three weekends to tackle each topic:
Champions for Nature Challenge (March 2022) – at Camp Tolochee, Sea Island, and St. Simon’s Island
Tide Turners Plastic Challenge (May 2022) – at Camp Tolochee and Jekyll Island
Scouts Go Solar Challenge (November 2022) – at Black Creek Scout Reservation
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the program and congratulations to those who earned the triple crown award patch and pin for attending all three!
