Pathway to Adventure Council, Scouting America, partners with Woz ED, Google, and Northwestern University to deliver fun, hands-on programming that sparks curiosity in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) for elementary and middle school youth. Through Scouting America’s STEM in Scouting programs, young people engage in real-world learning experiences that build critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
In Chicago, middle schoolers participate in our STEAM program through the Exploring program, where they explore workforce-focused activities and receive one-on-one mentorship to help them discover their interests and future pathways. In Gary, Indiana, our elementary school STEM programs bring foundational STEM concepts to life through engaging, interactive lessons. These youth are introduced to the program through Cub Scout units with a dedicated STEM track.
