Cadette Netiquette Badge

Our digital world makes it easy to stay in touch and share friendships, memories, and ideas. But we've all heard embarrassing stories in which people wish they'd never hit the "send" button. Once you've put it out there, it never goes away. But you can use that to your benefit, too. This badge is all about knowing how to make positive choices in the online world.

1. Explore "oops!" and "wow!" moments
2. Dig into stories of "ouch" -- and repair some hurt if necessary
3. Look at e-mail, commenting, or blogging
4. Decide what makes a great social media profile
5. Spread better practices

When I've earned this badge, I'll know how to make -- and keep -- my online world a positive place.

Girl Scout badges, awards and other insignia that are earned for the accomplishment of skill-building activities or any set requirements should be presented, worn or displayed only after Girl Scouts have completed the requirements outlined in the appropriate program materials.
