BSA has recognized the serious implications of internet access to youth by adding internet safety topics to requirements back in 2008; in 2012 the CyberChip program was created but not added to requirements until most recently. As of 2024 ScoutsBSA must use the "Personal Safety" program for Scout and Star advancement.
2022 BSA changed Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, Arrow of Light advancement to use the “Protect Yourself Rules Adventure”.
This presentation covers BOTH.
The CyberChip program has been replaced fully with these other programs.
I am requesting youth AND parents attend. Parents: I have had a lot of parents report back that they learn as much as the kids do. I not going to be overly graphic during my discussion, however, depending upon your child’s maturity level, I would encourage you to use the information provided to springboard further frank discussions in your own home. My suggestion is to answer any question from your child but also bring up some challenging conversation of your own. Push the conversation to the point of making your child slightly uncomfortable regarding the potential for badness (i.e. the conversation to a 10 year old should be very different to the conversation of a 17 year old).
