Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of Forestry Merit Badge. Nothing is required, nothing is kept on the server, and nothing is ever hidden because a question went unanswered. A step that might apply to you stays on the list and is marked.

Requirement 2: wood samples, growth rings, or damage?

One of three. Two of them write into the field notebook from requirement 1 and need it with you in the field; the wood samples route does not. All three need photographs or sketches except the first.

Requirement 5: which visit? (parent and counselor approval needed first)

One of three, and all three need somebody else. The preamble requires both your parent or guardian's and your counselor's approval before you go. Each ends in a brief written report.

Requirement 6: inventory the hazardous trees yourself, or review a professional report?

Check before you choose. The review route needs a hazardous tree report that a professional has already written for your specific area, and many places have never had one. If none exists, the inventory is your only route.
