Requirement

10. Careers, or a hobby and volunteering. Do ONE

Required

The badge states the choice itself. Both routes are research and a discussion with your counselor, and neither carries a clock.

Notes and warnings

Note. This requirement does not appear in the 2025 requirements book at all. It is one of the parts added when the badge was reorganised. Whichever route you take, it ends in a discussion with your counselor rather than a document.
