@InquisitiveScouter Thanks for the reply confirming what was my suspicion. I wanted to start going over the requirements and things with my scout but its hard when I'm not sure that I fully grasped it!

My child recently went from being a lone cub to a Scout troop. We had a lot of fun doing a few of the NOVA projects as a cub. My question is, if a child wants to continue to do NOVA projects and maybe even work towards a supernova, do they have to start from scratch or is the NOVA program contiguous across cubs/BSA? So specifically, 1) When they earn the first scout NOVA would they get the BSA patch for that or keep adding pins to their light blue border cub patch? 2) Implicit in #1 is, is it OK to wear their cub nova patch/pins as a temporary patch on their Scout uniform? or they have to earn it over again? 3) If they go for a supernova it looks like there are a number of 'earn X NOVA awards' requirements. Do those count the ones they earned as cubs or they have to be all from Scouts? Thanks in advance for any insights from those familiar with the program.
