DHS partners with Girl Scouts

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced a cybersecurity and online safety partnership with the Girls Scouts Wednesday. The Girl Scouts will join the DHS' "Stop. Think. Connect." campaign, which raises public awareness of online safety issues, a DHS statement said. "We are proud to partner with the Girl Scouts of the USA to help women and girls protect themselves online, and do their part to ensure cyberspace is a safe and secure environment for all Internet users," Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said. The collaboration "will empower girls to become leaders and advocates for the safe and responsible use of technology," said Anna Maria Chavez, chief executive officer of the Girl Scouts.
