Task · part of 4. One of seven projects: from a book report to two study skins
4(c). A life history of a native game mammal, to 3(c)'s outline
Optional May not apply Often forgotten
Covering the points outlined in requirement 3(c), plus a list of your sources. Game rather than nongame this time. Read 3(c) whether or not you are doing it, because that is where the outline lives.
Notes and warnings
Warning. THIS ROUTE IS WRITTEN AGAINST REQUIREMENT 3(c), BY NUMBER. It asks for a life history "covering the points outlined in requirement 3(c)". Two consequences the badge never states. If you also chose 3(c), you are writing TWO life histories to the same outline, one nongame and one game, and this is the only place on the badge where the work doubles. If you chose 3(a) or 3(b) instead, you still have to go and read 3(c) (a requirement you are not doing), because that is the only place the outline appears.
Where this step comes from
- Mammal Study Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 4(c) · Names requirement 3(c) by number as the outline the life history must cover.
