Digital Safety 

As Scouting increases the use of digital and online resources, such as video conferencing for Scouting meetings, projects and advancements the National Council has provided the following guidance. Note this guidance is not comprehensive and may differ from the legal requirements of state or local jurisdiction. 

Digital Safety

Scouting at Home

Across the nation, Scouters are finding ways to help keep their youth members engaged and Scouting. These out-of-the-box, in-home activities are centered around providing advancement-related content to help keep kids safe, engaged and to help them make the best of home time.

Cyber Chip

Today’s youth are spending more time than ever using digital media for education, research, socializing, and fun. To help families and volunteers keep youth safe while online, the Boy Scouts of America has developed the Cyber Chip with content expert NetSmartz®, part of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children® and training expert for many law enforcement agencies. All Cub Scouts are encouraged to earn the Cyber Chip.
