Cub Scout Awards

Cyber Chip Award

Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, AoL

Tiger, Wolf, Bear and Webelos Scouts may earn the Cyber Chip. This award promotes internet safety. A unit leader works with the youth to sign off on their cyber safety accomplishments. Cyber Chips expire annually. Each Scout will need to “recharge” the chip by going back to the NetSmartz Recharge area. This space will hold new information, news, and a place for the Scout to recommit to net safety and netiquette.

Check with your local council service center or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.
