Cub Scouts Scientist Activity Badge (Rolls Royce) From animals to minerals to travelling through the air - we use science to find out about the universe around us. So pop on your safety goggles and get experimenting. Rolls-Royce is a long term supporter of The Scouts, partnering with us to inspire our members in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Having supported the Cub Scientist Badge for many years, they are going a step further by partnering our brand new Scout Scientist Badge.  Rolls-Royce will provide a range of resources to help cubs and scouts discover the Science that makes the world work. We will co-create activity ideas that are relevant and engaging, giving Cubs and Scouts the opportunity to explore STEM in ways that are creative and off the beaten track!
