Cyber Chip

This seemed a very appropriate reminder since we will be online now more than ever in the days and weeks ahead. 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 introduced the Cyber Chip.

The Cyber Chip is an internet safety protocol that Scouts must learn to earn and then renew annually.

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. Netsmartz® has created a Scouting portal showcasing Cyber Chip resources, including grade-specific videos, for each level. Check it out here.

Topics include cyberbullying, cell phone use, texting, blogging, gaming, and identity theft.

You may print this Cyber Chip Certificate here to present to your ASM once you have completed this requirement for your original completion or recharge.

Requirements for Grades 6-8 are HERE.
Requirements for Grades 9-12 are HERE

Be sure to print THIS off while you're working on your Cyber Chip as a reminder of how it correlates directly with the Scout Oath and Law you have pledged to follow.
