Youth Protection Policies
MeritBadge.com adheres to and endorses the Youth Protection policies of the Boy Scouts of America. MeritBadge.com does not publish information about youth members of the Boy Scouting program ( or adult members for that matter). MeritBadge.com does not collect information about youth under the age of 13 years old under any circumstances. The only information MeritBadge.com requests from adults and youth 13 years of age and older for participation in our forums is an email address. True names are not required. So that all activities between youth and adults are open and visible to all, the private messaging functions in the forums have been disabled. MeritBadge.com discourages discussion of any youth's personal information such as street addresses and phone numbers with any person electronically whether on this web site or any web site. Adults may decide for themselves whether or not they wish to share such information. Parents are encouraged to read How to Protect Kids' Privacy Online at the US Federal Trade Commission website.
