Decision
8. Choose one of four routes, and three of them carry a clock
Required Often forgotten
The badge says do ONE. The quick route depends on your council running a Cache to Eagle series; the two obvious substitutes each need thirty days. Settle this before you plan the rest of the badge.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Settle this choice before you plan anything else on the badge. Route (a) is much the shortest and it is the one you may not be allowed to take. It needs your council to run a Cache to Eagle series. Routes (b) and (c) each need thirty days of monitoring, and (c) adds a three-month maintenance commitment on top. Find out about your council's series first; if there is not one, requirement 8 starts today.
