The Cub Scout Webelos from Pack 112 at Vista del Mar Elementary School earned the Charles E. Towns Supernova Award, which focuses on STEM fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. To earn the award, the boys needed to visit an event or company in a STEM field and perform and document a science experiment in a report including their hypothesis, results, research and then write a report about Dr. Charles Townes, the inventor of the maser and laser, along with five additional scientist/heroes in the STEM field of their choice.
This was not part of the requirement to complete their Webelos careers; they all opted to take on the additional work in order to achieve this award. All the Scouts have joined Boy Scout Troop No. 737 in San Clemente.
