New Website Coming! We have been working feverishly for the past year planning a new, improved website that's easier to use and navigate. Our go-live target date is the end of May, 2013. Stay tuned! Update: It's the last day of May and we're not quite ready yet, but we're trying! End of June? We shall see. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) What is STEM? STEM has been an important buzzword in the education world for quite some time. Three-fourths of America’s fastest growing occupations require significant math and science preparation.

Boy Scouts	Boys who earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10; or who are 11 but not yet 18
Venturers	Young men and women who are 14 years, or 13 and have completed the eighth grade, and not yet 21
Exploring	Part of Learning for Life's career education program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old
