Presented by Trend Micro, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, the Ambassador Award celebrates Scouting America’s leadership in promoting cyber awareness, resilience, and collaboration beyond its own operations. The organization was selected from among hundreds of thousands of global customers for its commitment to educating youth, volunteers, and partners on digital safety and responsible technology use.
