Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of Mining in Society 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 5: which one, and can you actually arrange it?

Six routes. Only 5(e) needs no permission, no travel and nobody else; 5(a) can be done from home with a parent's approval. The other four need somebody to host you or talk to you, so ask early if you want one of them.

Requirement 7: which piece of research?

Four routes, all desk research, and none of them depends on a place or a person. Choose on interest. Only 7(d) produces figures that go stale, so note the date you looked them up.
