A brave new digital world.

Here are couple of the newer badges that signify the growing influence of technology, computing and safety in Scouting.



Green Cyber Chip emblem Worn attached to your right pocket flap, the Cyber Chip emblem is renewed annually and certifies that you have passed Scouting's cyber safety training program which addresses blogs, cellphones and more.  The training program can also be customized to fit your specific Troop's digital safety training requirements.


Troop Webmaster badgeThe Troop Webmaster is an official position of responsibility (similar to Historian, Scribe, etc.) and is involved with maintaining and and updating the Troop's website.  The Scout Handbook describes the position in more detail.
