Task · part of 1. Safety: hazards, weather, and the digital safety video
1(b). View the Personal Safety Awareness "Digital Safety" video
Required
Needs your parent or guardian's permission. The same video is a requirement of five merit badges, including Cybersecurity, Programming and Digital Technology, so raise it with your counselor if you hold or are working on any of those.
Notes and warnings
Note. FIVE MERIT BADGES REQUIRE THIS SAME VIDEO. On four of them, including this one, the Personal Safety Awareness "Digital Safety" video is a lettered or numbered requirement in identical words: Photography 1(b), Cybersecurity 1(a), Programming 1(a) and Digital Technology 1. On Competitive Gaming it appears as a note inside requirement 2. Whether viewing it once can count towards more than one badge is a decision for your counselor and this page makes no claim either way, but it is worth raising rather than discovering. Viewing it needs your parent or guardian's permission.
