About Scouting Robotics

A partnership of two youth-development cultures.

We combine hands-on leadership development with real-world STEM and robotics experiences. Earn Tech Crests™ with your team, build SeaPerch ROVs at summer camp, and grow into the innovators and problem-solvers of tomorrow.

Our mission

Engineering minds. Shaping character.

Scouting Robotics combines leadership development, hands-on STEM education, and team-based problem solving to help young people grow into confident innovators and leaders. Through structured skill pathways like Tech Crests™, immersive summer camp experiences, and a strong network of mentors, coaches, and student leaders, we create opportunities for youth to explore engineering, build character, and develop skills that last a lifetime.

What we believe

Four principles.

01

Learning, not earning

We hold ourselves to a high standard. The skills you gain are the real achievement — the crest is recognition.

02

Gracious professionalism

Borrowed from FIRST: respect, excellence, and kindness toward competitors and teammates alike.

03

Coopertition

Even fierce competitors help each other succeed. Robotics is bigger than any single team.

04

Outdoor and indoor character

Scouting prepares young people for life. We carry that into the workshop and the lab.

The partnership

Built by two organizations.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Scouting-Inspired Leadership

Our program emphasizes character growth, outdoor experiences, teamwork, and practical leadership skills that help young people succeed both on and off the field.

ROBOTICS & STEM

Hands-On Engineering Experiences

Students explore robotics, coding, fabrication, and real-world problem-solving through collaborative projects, competitions, workshops, and STEM-based adventures. The Tech Crests™ system was developed to encourage skill progression, creativity, and team-based learning.
