9. Careers and hobbies. Do ONE
Required
The badge states the choice. As published, 9(b) repeats 9(a) word for word.
Notes and warnings
Warning. As published on the Hub, 9(b) is word for word the same as 9(a): three career opportunities that would use skills and knowledge in insect study, one researched and discussed with your counselor. The heading is Careers and Hobbies and the resource linked under 9(b) is about beekeeping, but the text does not describe a hobby. It is drawn here as printed. Ask your counselor how they read it.
