Earn the Cyber Chip
Earning the Cyber Chip will help scouts learn how to stay safe while they are online and using social networks and electronic forms of communication. Topics include cell phone use, texting, blogging, gaming, cyberbullying and identity theft.
Scouts need to earn the Cyber Chip in order to make Scout rank and Star rank. A current Cyber Chip is also required for several merit badges. Go to http://www.netsmartz.org/scouting to review the requirements. Once you have completed the Read, Write and Watch requirements, please sign up for a Cyber Chip Meeting on the Troop 24 website to let us know your scout is ready to complete the Teach and Talk requirements. We have the Cards. The chip expires after one year, see Scoutmaster Tim Lauger to “Recharge” or renew the Chip.
