The New Internet Scout Patch Program

The U.S. Scouting Service Project is pleased to announce Version 2 of it's Internet Scout Patch Program. With the explosive growth of the Internet and the rise of Social Media, it was necessary to re-engineer the program to assure it remained relevant and useful. The new program focuses on fostering a dialog between parent/mentor and Scout that will help prepare Scouts to be aware and alert when using the Internet.

The current version, Version 2.1, of the program includes a new prerequisite. Before Scouts begin work on the Internet Scout Patch, they must now complete the requirements for the BSA Cyber Chip appropriate for their grade level.

The Cyber Chip requirements are available at http://usscouts.org/advance/cyberchip.asp.

Workbooks for the BSA Cyber Chip can be downloaded at: http://usscouts.org/advance/docs/Cub-Scout-Cyber-Chip.pdf or http://usscouts.org/advance/docs/Boy-Scout-Cyber-Chip.pdf

This is a difficult and challenging program. It will require both the mentor and the participants to work hard. But, it will be worth it! As we continue to become more dependent on the Internet in our daily lives, it is critically important that we develop an understanding of its dangers and how to be prepared, aware, and alert to avoid trouble.

The Patches

Scouts and Mentors can earn the following patches:

Internet Scout Patches

The patches are 3 inches in diameter.

Though it should go without saying, the patch is NOT an official award or emblem of the BSA. The patch may be worn by Scouts and Scouters as a temporary emblem to signify their education about the role of the Internet and the World Wide Web in particular as it relates to Scouting. It may also be worn on patch vests or jackets at the personal option of the Scout or Scouter.
