"¡Hola! One of the most valuable lessons I gained from the "Safe from Harm: Be Safe Online" scout training course was the importance of protecting personal information and being mindful of digital footprints. It’s a lesson I carry with me and pass on to the younger scouts, teaching them that being prepared isn’t just for the wilderness—it applies to the digital world too. "

"The safe from harm course by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) teaches scouts how to create a safe environment for everyone. The most valuable lesson I learned is the importance of being aware of potential dangers and knowing how to prevent harm. The course helps scouts understand how to recognize inappropriate behavior and encourages us to speak up if we see something wrong. It also emphasizes that we all have a responsibility to keep each other safe and to support one another. Overall, this course helps us feel more secure and confident in protecting ourselves and our friends in the scouting community."
