Digital Trustworthiness

When you're behind a screen, it's tempting to think the rules are different. Copy someone's homework and call it yours. Exaggerate a story in a text. Post something that's not quite true because it sounds better. After all, it's just online, right?
Wrong. A Scout is trustworthy everywhere - in person, in writing, and online. Your character doesn't change just because no one can see your face. The words you type carry the same weight as the words you speak.
Whether you're texting a friend, posting on social media, or submitting schoolwork, the standard is the same: tell the truth, give credit where it's due, and be someone people can count on. Because your digital footprint is part of your reputation, and trustworthiness doesn't take days off.
