The UK government, through GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre, has collaborated with the Scouts to launch new digital security activities. These activities, part of the Digital Citizen Badge, aim to equip young people with essential online skills, such as creating strong passwords, recognizing phishing attacks, and backing up digital assets. This initiative aligns with the government’s focus on cybersecurity education.
By integrating these tools into the Scout program, the UK government supports digital literacy, helping youth protect themselves and their data in an increasingly digital world.
