Required Often forgotten
After completing Second Class requirement 7a (the sheet says so) five days a week for four weeks, keeping track of what you do.
Notes and warnings
Warning. This requirement begins only AFTER Second Class requirement 7a is complete, and then runs four weeks at thirty minutes a day, five days a week. Second Class 7a is on another page and so cannot be drawn as a step here. It is the last link of a chain (Tenderfoot 6a, Tenderfoot 6c, Second Class 7a, then this) of roughly three months in which nothing may be started early or overlapped.
Where this step comes from
