Task · part of 1. Safety: a video, and the injuries programming actually causes

1(a). Watch the "Digital Safety" video, with a parent or guardian's permission

Required Often forgotten

The Personal Safety Awareness "Digital Safety" video. The Digital Technology merit badge asks for the same one; whether a single viewing serves both is your counselor's decision.

Notes and warnings

Note. THIS IS THE SAME VIDEO THE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY MERIT BADGE ASKS FOR at its own requirement 1: the Personal Safety Awareness "Digital Safety" video. If you are working on both badges, raise it with your counselor rather than assuming one viewing covers both or assuming it does not. That decision is theirs.
