The Grand Canyon Council Virtual Merit Badge Class - Cybersecurity equips Scouts with essential knowledge and skills to navigate and protect the digital world. Participants will learn about online safety, ethical behavior, and various cyber threats. The curriculum covers how to defend against cyber threats using tools like firewalls, antivirus software, and strong passwords. Scouts will also explore encryption, connected devices, and the risks associated with public Wi-Fi, while practicing safe habits such as updating software and backing up data. Through hands-on activities, Scouts will investigate real-world cyber incidents, participate in cybersecurity challenges, and explore career opportunities in the field. The class aims to provide a comprehensive look at digital security, preparing young people to be safe and smart in a connected world.
A typical day involves a virtual class session where requirements are reviewed and discussed, followed by time for Scouts to complete hands-on activities and submit their work.
