Together, the organizations will develop innovative programs and resources to mobilize future generations to pursue STEM. Additionally, the collaboration will support the national Space4All initiative that is underway to promote the limitless opportunities associated with space exploration to youth who may otherwise believe that a future in space and STEM is unattainable.
"We are thrilled to partner with Blue Origin's Club for the Future to inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, and space explorers, opening up a world of possibilities for our Scouts," said Roger Krone, president ⁘ CEO of Scouting America. "By combining the power of Scouting with the excitement of space exploration, we can create an environment where young people can discover their passions and develop the skills they need to succeed."
As part of this new alliance, Scouts at the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) in Boulder, CO had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a full-scale version of Blue Origin's New Shepard crew capsule. New Shepard is a reusable suborbital launch vehicle capable of carrying people and payloads to space and back above the Kármán Line, the internationally recognized boundary of space.
Scouting America welcomes all of America's youth into its programs. Our goal is to give them fantastic experiences in the outdoors, and elsewhere, where they can grow with us in a safe environment. More than 130 million Americans have been through our programs since our founding, and currently more than 1 million youth are served by 477,000 dedicated adult volunteers in local councils throughout the country.
