"Girl Scouts will become white hat hackers with new cybersecurity badges" http://mashable.com/2017/06/17/girl-scouts-cybersecurity-badges/#KN8EzC6P75qE "Girl Scouts can soon start earning cybersecurity badges for coding skills and white hat hacking" http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/girl-scout...adges-coding-skills-white-hat-hacking-1626690
Ok ok ok. Enough! All these technology & sociological leaps are making me feel ancient before my time. The generation before me was eased out of understanding wth is going on. So I'm setting a new watermark. When the girl scouts have a space walking badge then I'm too old.
What a brilliant idea. Nice to see something for girls that allows them to develop realistic skills for the future. I hope the girl scouts really embrace this opportunity. Our daughters are seldom offered anything as forward thinking as this. There will be a benefit for the girls who enjoy getting the badges even if they do not end up pursuing a career in cyber security. Young people need this awareness so badly - especially girls.
