Internet Safety

A new requirement for Webelos this year is the Cyber Chip. With our youth spending so much time using computers and tablets, the BSA has adapted to modern times.  Just like how we learned about knife safety when we earned the Whittling Chip, we will learn about internet safety by earning the Cyber Chip.

All infomation required for the Cyber Chip can be found at Netsmartz.org

Grades 4-5 (Webelos Requirements) 

Read, commit to, and sign the Level 1 Safety Pledge. (BSA Cyber Chip blue card). 

Watch the video “The Password Rap” and another video of your choosing. 

As an individual or with your den, use the Teachable Recipes to demonstrate Internet safety rules to your den leader, den, or pack. 

Discuss with your unit leader the acceptable standards and practices for using allowed electronic devices, such as phones and games, at your meetings and other Scouting events.

This achievement must be "recharged" every year

Think of the Cyber Chip as a summertime assignment.  This is something easy that we can do independently with our parents and have completed for the first Pack Meeting in the fall.
