It's really cool that the Girl Scouts are doing this. The badges are actually covering some pretty good topics:

Younger Scouts will also learn about data privacy, cyberbullying and how to protect themselves online. Badges for older ones will focus on developing coding skills, learning about white hat hacking and creating firewalls.

Now, if only the elementary schools would get their act together and put in some curriculum around these same things. In 3rd grade, my daughter has a Chromebook assigned to her, but the class only uses it for typing and watching videos around language arts and mathematics.

All well and good but another excuse parents will use for not monitoring their activity
From my time in the Boy Scouts, earning badges was not exactly hard so this should not be used as a "real" training ground for computer use and its bad and good aspects

This was actually a raucous debate within Scouting.  The conflict was that we tell kids to turn off the TV and go outdoors and learn things, yet Scouting magazine accepts millions of advertising revenue from video game manufactures.  

The compromise was to not change the advertising and add to the advancement boy scout merit badges such as Game Design, Digital Technology, and Programming.

In my son's former troop we have this thing called 'Merit Badge Madness' where the parents present merit badge classes for an entire month.  Half of the parents work in computers in varying skillsets, so we have that one down.
