National Cyber Security Centre Blanket Badge

The Scouts have teamed up with The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to co-create activities to help teach young people how to stay secure online. 

We are living in a digital age with technology becoming an integral part of everyday life. From online shopping and gaming, to streaming and social media, people are spending more time online than ever before, so it is even more important to prevent cyber criminals getting hold of our accounts, data and devices.

This blanket badge is available for everyone to buy and is not an activity badge, but we think it would be great to do some fun activities around it too (links below). Great for Parents and Scouts Leaders / Volunteers to raise awareness of Cyber Security.

National Cyber Security Centre & Scouts Partnership

We are proud to have teamed up with the National Cyber Security Centre who are responsible for helping to make the UK the safest place to live and work online. Through the co-designed activities, we want to shine a spotlight on the importance of cyber security for young people.
