Required Often forgotten
To your harness. This is the part requirement 11 does not have, and it is hardware you may not own.
Notes and warnings
Warning. A carabiner and a rappel device. This is the one part of the badge with hardware requirement 11 has no equivalent of, and it is not something most Scouts own. Confirm with your counselor or your site that a device will be available and that you will be shown the one you are actually going to use.
