Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of Geology 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 4: which ONE of the four options?

Options A and B need your counselor to hand you materials before you can begin. Options C and D you can start alone. Only C and D involve collecting, which requirement 5(b) then asks about.
