It may take three years to complete a level. You must complete a minimum of seven activities and five learning experiences each year to complete this project.

Materials you'll need

Non-Animal Record Books
A Project/Financial Journal is needed for each non-animal related project. Project journals need to contain the name of the project, the year these records were kept, and a leader/parent signature. All sections of the journal need to be completed. If nothing was done in an area or section of a record sheet, the word “none” or something similar should be written.
