There are great things to do and learn on the Internet and it provides the opportunity to meet lots of new people and explore the world of Guiding.

But, remember there can be lots of dangers on the web too. Just as you know that you need to be careful of strangers, when you are walking home from school or other activities such as company meetings, you also need to be aware of people you meet online.


Follow the guidelines below and you shouldn't have any problems.

 

 


1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents' work address/telephone number, the name and location of my school or meeting place without the permission of a parent/guardian or adult leader.

2. If I see any information that makes me feel uncomfortable, I will turn off the monitor and tell my parent/guardian or adult leader right away.

3. I know that people I "meet" online are not always who they say they are. I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parent/guardian.

4. I will get to know my "online" friends just as I would get to know my other friends.

5. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parent/guardian.

6. I will not answer any messages that are nasty or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that, and if I do, I will tell my parent/guardian right away so that they can deal with it.

7. I will never use bad language or sent nasty messages online myself.

8. I will be careful and think about what I write and whom I give information to.

9. I will log off if I am unsure.

10. I will not give my password to anyone except my parent/guardian (not even to my best friend).
