Cyber Safety is a growing concern for children and adults alike. Internet child predators, child pornographers and other cyber criminals are exploiting children and engaging in online and various other forms of digital solicitation. Additionally, the security of personal information is critical to our safety and that of our children.
In an effort to further educate and protect our Scouts and their families, it is suggested the BSA dedicate additional attention to Cyber Safety throughout all levels of the Scouting program to increase awareness of the potential dangers and provide both Scouts and adults with the necessary tools to minimize the chance of falling victim to a “cyber crime”. Age appropriate content could be developed and reinforced with individual recognition ranging from belt loops up through requirements for rank advancement.
