Scouts,

The purpose of this email is to outline the Cyber Chip requirements that you should complete prior to our Troop meeting on February 7th.   The PLC has set “Cyber Chip” as the topic of this meeting.   You will not be able to complete all requirements at this meeting, but if you do complete the items listed below prior to the meeting you could finish your Cyber Chip at the February 7th Troop meeting.

Remember, the Cyber Chip is now a requirement for Scout rank and Star rank.  It is also required for several of the technology related merit badges.  If you plan to work on any of these over the next 12 months, you will need your Cyber Chip.   Please follow the items listed under your current grade level.  

Grades 6-8
-          Print pages 1 and 2 of the Cyber Chip Workbook.   See link below.
-          Complete requirement 2 at home with your parents.   Use the Workbook as an outline for your contract.   We do expect you to bring a copy of your contract that has been signed by both you and your parents.
-          Complete requirement 3 at home.   You are required to watch the video “Friend or Fake” and two additional videos from the link below.  Please record which videos that you watched, the date and have your parents sign your workbook beside requirement 3.  Be prepared to share and discuss what you have learned.
-          Prepare to complete requirement 4 at the February 7th Troop meeting.   Look at the “Mini Activities” at the link provided below.  Use these activities (or create your own) along with the EDGE method to teach a mini lesson about Internet safety rules, behavior, and “netiquette”.   You can do this requirement individually or as a group as long as each member of your group has a role in presenting part of the lesson.

-          Prepare to complete requirement 5 at the February 7th Troop meeting.   Read the “Student Project Kit” at the link provided below.  Use this along with the EDGE method to teach a lesson about Internet safety rules, behavior, and “netiquette”.   This lesson can be in the form of a skit, a lesson, or an activity.   Be creative.   You can do this requirement individually or as a group as long as each member of your group has a role in presenting part of the lesson.   Notify one of the leaders ahead of time if you need to use the audio / video system or have any other special needs for your presentation.
