BSA Cyber Chip
http://www.scouting.org/cyberchip.aspx
The program is set up for individual
Scouts, but going to a library or a school where there are multiple computers
would allow a den or pack to do it all at once.
To earn the Cyber Chip, do the
following:
- Read, commit to, and sign the Level I Internet Safety Pledge (BSA Cyber Chip blue card).
- Watch the video “Bad Netiquette Stinks” at http://NetSmartz.org/scouting/.
- On the same website, play the “Router’s Birthday Surprise” interactive adventure, and print the completion certificate to give to your den leader.
- Show and tell your family, den leader, den, or pack what you have learned.

Shaping Boy Behaviors
Techniques for encouraging good behaviors:
Examples of Den/Pack Codes of Conduct
Cub Scout Cheers
Tips for Great Scout Cheers
- Keep them short and fun.
- Never have a cheer that could hurt someone's feelings.
- Do not use cheers to actually belittle.
- Use cue cards and scripts if you need to. Rehearse until everyone is comfortable and has memorized their parts.
- Speak loudly and clearly.
- Avoid gross, vulgar, or un-Scout-Like topics or content.
- Keep your program fast paced and get everyone involved!
Consider having a CHEER box with many cards or strips of
paper inside. Larger stores still carry CHEER brand laundry soap, but you will have to look for it. Alternately, you can make any sort of box or basket and label it as a Cheer Box.
