iFLY is proud to collaborate with the Boy Scouts of America and all Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturers across the nation. Through this collaboration, we offer Scouts a chance to earn the STEM Nova Award and enjoy an evergreen discount for Scouts and their families to fly anytime.
Scouts can earn their STEM Nova Award. Additionally, Scouts and their families can enjoy a daily 20% discount on select flight packages with promo code Scouts20.
Scouts of all ages can now earn the STEM Nova award at any U.S. iFLY location. This module is designed to help Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturers explore how Engineering affects their everyday lives. Contact your local unit leader for more information on the STEM Nova Award.
Scouts can bring their families and enjoy flying together! It doesn’t have to be a formal Scouting event to enjoy this perk. Outside of any events for STEM Nova Awards, Scouts can come fly anytime they want and receive a 15% discount.* Use code Scouts15 at the time of booking to save. Scouts must be in uniform or show their Scout Membership Card at the tunnel to receive discount on any first-time flyer package.
A field trip at iFLY will take about 3 hours. This includes a lecture, demonstration, classroom experiment, and the flight experience. We welcome all age levels of Scouts including anyone with physical or cognitive challenges to participate in our supportive and inclusive environment.

Included as a resource material for the ‘Exploration’ portion of the STEM Nova Award the video is an interview with wind tunnel engineer Mark Arlitt. He and fellow Engineer and Author Christina Soontornvat discuss how closed loop vertical wind tunnels were created and how STEM played an integral role in the creation of indoor skydiving.
