As we continue to celebrate Scouting through photos and memories, it's important to remember the importance of copyright awareness. When sharing images of Scouts and Scouting events, let's ensure we're doing so responsibly and legally.

Avoid using Google Images: While it's convenient to search and use images from Google, many of these are protected by copyright laws. Instead, consider using resources like the BSA Brand Center or other official Scouting sources for images that are safe to use.

Use your own photos: The best way to ensure you're not violating copyright is to use photos you've taken yourself or those shared with permission from the photographer.

Check for permissions: If you're unsure about the copyright status of an image, it's always best to ask for permission from the owner before using it.

Be a copyright-conscious Scouter: By being aware of copyright laws and practicing responsible image sharing, we can continue to uphold the values of Scouting while respecting the rights of others.
