Microsoft
Microsoft believe in the power of technology and the impact it has in helping people to realise their potential.
As a company we welcome the opportunity to work with The Scout Association to bring the benefits of technology to Leaders, Scouts and their families.
As a responsible business we take the lead in promotion of safe use of the internet for both young people and adults and look forward to bringing this knowledge and training to The Scout Association.
Resources for parents to help safeguard their children online.
Microsoft has launched a guide to family safety for all of their products which can provide technology tools to help to enforce family safety rules. To download your copy of this guide please visit www.microsoft.com/uk/parents
In partnership with CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) we have launched the Click Clever, Click Safe Internet Explorer 8 browser. This is available free to download and provides direct access to internet safety help through websites and a "Click CEOP" button that allows a young person to immediately report any concerns they have when online.

IT Badge
Microsoft is now supporting the IT Badge and will look to work with The Scout Association over the coming years to refresh the badge to reflect modern technology and its use. While this refresh is in planning we have provided some resources that can help support the current badge structure.*
