Award Checklists and Workbooks 

Here are checklists for the Nova Awards and workbooks for the Supernova Awards, as well as summaries of the existing badges in each program that support the Nova and Supernova Awards.  For all of the STEM awards, we recommend that each Scout keep a STEM notebook/journal in which to record the details of his or her work on each award.

Worksheets on Other Sites
US Scouting Service Project
Their Nova Award documents are more like worksheets, with space for writing descriptions of work completed, whereas ours are more like checklists.  On the other hand, their Supernova Award documents are more like checklists whereas ours are more like workbooks.  A nice feature of their worksheets is that their pdf files are fillable in multiple .pdf readers.
