Cyber Chip

Some Scouts may be spending some of their extra free time on computers and other electronic devices. Please spend a few moments to go through the Cyber Chip requirements with your Scout 1st grade and higher. It provides a great talking point to go over being safe online with your Scout and all that learning stuff aside, your Scout will have a cool new temporary badge he can wear. Once he's earned the badge, it gets "recharged" every year.

To help families and volunteers keep youth safe while online, the Boy Scouts of America introduces the Cyber Chip. In developing this exciting new tool, the BSA teamed up with content expert NetSmartz®, part of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children® and training expert for many law enforcement agencies.
