Task · part of 3. Safety from crime, and the second inspection of the same building
3(b). Inspect the same building for security, with an adult, then review it
Required Often forgotten
Using a Home Security Checklist from the pamphlet or one your counselor approves. Your home or a similar building, with an adult, and reviewed with your counselor. Do it on the same visit as 2(d).
Notes and warnings
Warning. This is the same walk round the same building as requirement 2(d), both say "your home or a similar building", both need an adult with you, and both end in a review with your counselor. One is looking for hazards and one for security. Nothing on the badge tells you to do them together; do them together, and you have asked that adult for one evening instead of two.
