10. Do ONE of the following: real project or simulated

Warning. THIS IS THE ONE THING ON THE BADGE THAT TAKES WEEKS TO ARRANGE, AND IT IS NUMBERED TENTH OF ELEVEN. Both routes need a qualified archaeologist: 10(a) is at least eight hours assisting on a real project, and 10(b) is a simulated project designed by one. Requirement 11 then needs a qualified archaeologist or instructor to supervise whichever option you take there. So ask your counselor on the day you get the blue card who they know, because requirements 1 to 9 are all reading, writing and talking, and none of them tells you whether anybody within reach can help with these last two. The note printed underneath 10(b) is where the badge says who counts, and it is much wider than the word archaeologist: a professional archaeologist, a trained avocational archaeologist, a museum school instructor, a science teacher, an advisor from a local archaeology society, or other qualified instructor. A science teacher is on that list. Read that note even if you intend to take 10(a).
