Task
1. Safety, and it covers the option you have not read yet
Required Often forgotten
Read the safety rules, discuss how to be safe working with metal, and discuss the ADDITIONAL rules for the requirement 5 option you choose. That last clause is why the option has to be picked before this can be finished.
Notes and warnings
Warning. CHOOSE YOUR REQUIREMENT 5 OPTION BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN FOR THIS. The last sentence asks about "the additional safety rules that apply to the metalwork option you choose for requirement 5", so this discussion cannot be completed until that choice is made. Working top to bottom means booking the conversation twice.
Where this step comes from
- Metalwork Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-09-19), Requirement 1 · Names requirement 5 by number. The additional safety rules are those applying to the option chosen there.
