Foam is funny. If scissors don't work, try a serrated bread knife. -

Smash it flat with a heavy book on each side, or have someone hold it like that. Then cut through with good fabric scissors. If you are using paper-cutting scissors, that is probably your problem. Also, an electric turkey carving knife will make short work of it. -

How big is the 'sponge'? If it is a large piece of foam, an electric knife, as Bpi mentioned, cuts cleanly through foam. -

Place sponge in water till it absorbs as much water as possible. Freeze it till rock hard. Cut it with your table saw or skill saw. -

Place it on a hard surface you don't mind marking up. Cutting board would work. Lay a book, board, etc., along the cut line. Press down and cut with a razor knife, serrated knife, Chef's knife. -

Some sponges can be torn easier than cutting them ... or ...carefully use an utility knife and just keep scoring the same line until you cut thru.
