Task

Required Often forgotten

Present yourself properly clothed and equipped for "the option you choose in requirement 7", and discuss how the clothing keeps you warm and protected. The second requirement on this badge that cannot be met until the option is chosen.

Notes and warnings

Warning. THE SAME FORWARD REFERENCE AGAIN: "properly clothed and equipped for the option you choose in requirement 7". What you turn up in for a day of snowshoeing is not what you would wear sitting on a lift. Pick the option first; this requirement is a presentation, so there is no way to bluff it.

Where this step comes from
