4(a). Measure it, draw it to scale, then copy it twice

Warning. MAKE THE TWO COPIES BEFORE YOU MARK ANYTHING. The requirement says to make two copies of the plan and save the original, then do 4(b) and 4(c) using the copies, and it says it at the end of a long sentence about what to draw. A Scout who finishes the drawing and starts putting drainage arrows on it has destroyed the original and has one sheet where the badge asks for three. Draw it, then scan or photograph it, then print two, then put the original away. THE DRAWING IS TO SCALE AND THE SCALE HAS TO BE STATED, so a measuring tape is required kit rather than a suggestion. What must appear: the driveway, the sidewalk or path to the main entry, and then any sidewalks, structures, trees and plants, lights, drains, utilities or other site furnishings in the study area. Drains and utilities are the two people forget, and they are exactly what 4(b) is about, so walk the site once looking for nothing else.
