Young people fighting fraud across Canada, the US & globally
Join the SDP Cyber Safety Scouts — the youth division of the SDP MPPA+ organization — and learn to spot scams, protect your community, and build real cybersecurity skills. We are active in communities across Canada, the United States, and globally.
Young people protecting communities across Canada, the US & beyond
The SCAM DOWN Program (SDP) Cyber Safety Scouts empower youth aged 12–17 to become agents of change in their communities. Active across Canada, the United States, and globally, young Scouts develop critical skills in fraud prevention, cyber safety, and evidence awareness — working under adult supervision as part of the SDP MPPA+ organization. Through this program, we coordinate alongside authorities, police services, and investigators to build a safer world for everyone.
