WHEREAS, Bryce Wishoun of Spring has received STEM NOVA
Awards from the Boy Scouts of America in all four categories of the
program; and
WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America established a STEM

learn skills and acquire knowledge that will allow them to succeed
in a rapidly changing global economy; they also develop a spirit of
innovation that is essential to the future prosperity of our
