Integration Ideas

Parents

• Use the Cyber Chip as a tool to work with your youth to create additional open communications.
• Visit www.scouting.org/cyberchip and NetSmartz® for more content ideas and tip sheets.

Unit Leaders

• Tailor the requirements to your own unit rules. Complete the requirements for the Cyber Chip as a unit at a regular meeting, then hand out the cards and patches on the spot.
• Review the resources available on the website, including teaching materials, an implementation guide, and more.
• Create a fun challenge for youth to stump the unit leaders.
• Play a "Jeopardy!"-style game in a meeting to use what's been learned.
• Use the Cyber Chip as a foundational step in preparation for leadership positions such as Webmaster.

Districts

• Add Cyber Chip information to council or district websites. Create an area focused on cyber safety. Use resources from NetSmartz®
• Spread the word by communicating at events like camporees and Scoutoramas.
• Do a tech event for adults or youth-then set teams to compete with each other on their knowledge in a fun fashion.
