Since its formation, the club has focused its efforts on the promotion of sport and rugby in particular among the youngest members of society.

The club signed a sponsorship agreement with bathroom supplier Bathco for the 2016–17 season, the year in which the senior team achieved promotion to Division of Honor B from the AON Norte league.

The club's crest depicts a blue outline seal balancing a rugby ball on its nose.

This victory earned Ciencias automatic promotion, and meant Bathco had to play the promotion/relegation playoff with the side finishing second-from-bottom in the top tier.
