Info Needed for badge requirements: Personally Identifiable Information (PII) includes details like your name, birthday, address, email, phone number, or password—anything that identifies you. Sharing PII online can lead to risks like hacking or identity theft. To stay safe: Don’t share PII with strangers online. Even small details, like your favorite color, can reveal more about you when combined with other information. Always think carefully about what you share and how much you share.

Items Needed

• Poster board (one for each team of three scouts)
• Sticky notes (7 for each scout team)
• Markers

Before the Meeting

• Write out 7 sticky note labels for each team of three scout. (If time, you can have Scouts write them out during the meeting.):
  • First name, middle name, last name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Age and date of birth
  • Name of school
  • Favorite color
  • Favorite food

Instructions

1. Divide the poster board into two columns: PRIVATE and PUBLIC (label each column).
2. Scouts form teams of three. Give each scout team 7 sticky notes with the labels and a posterboard.
3. Scout teams sort their sticky notes onto their poster board under PRIVATE or PUBLIC.
4. Compare boards between teams and discuss why some information is private (like name or address) while others (like favorite color) are public. Talk about why it’s important to keep private information safe and never share it online.
