Requirement
8. Careers, or volunteering. Do ONE
Required
The badge states the choice itself. Both routes are research and a discussion with your counselor.
Notes and warnings
Note. The 2025 requirements book asks for three career or volunteer opportunities to be found and one chosen. The current page splits careers and volunteering into two routes and asks you to take one. Another place the two sources disagree.
