| Notes: | Keeping your online presence clean and respectful extends Scout values to digital spaces. |
Everything you post online leaves a trace. That comment you make when you're angry. That photo you share without thinking. That message you send in frustration. Years from now, when you're applying to college or looking for a job, those digital footprints may still exist.
Digital cleanliness means treating online spaces with the same respect you show in person. Don't post things you wouldn't say to someone's face. Don't share images or content that contradict Scout values. Don't participate in online bullying or drama. Your digital presence is part of your character.
A Scout is clean online just as we are in person. Before you post, comment, or share, ask yourself: "Would I be proud of this tomorrow? Would I be okay with my family seeing this? Does this reflect the Scout Law?" If the answer is no, don't post it. Because being clean isn't just about your physical space - it's about every space you occupy, including digital ones.
