Our Summary* of requirements:

1. Explore a badge you’ve earned and use it to identify a local community issue that your group is curious about and ready to address by creating meaningful, lasting change.
2. Write down what your group knows, adding insights from your badge work, researching the topic and connecting with affected people or organizations, then organizing and analyzing your findings to uncover barriers, patterns, and root causes to explore why your chosen issue exists.
3. Begin by exploring existing efforts, then use your group’s talents, interests, and research to brainstorm and choose a sustainable project idea that creates lasting impact.
4. Turn your project idea into a measurable plan by setting a clear goal, organizing tasks and roles around your group’s strengths, identifying needed supplies and resources, and sharing the plan with trusted adults and community partners for feedback and support.
5. Launch your project by following your plan, tracking progress, adjusting as needed, and evaluating its success together. Then celebrate what you’ve accomplished. (Sharing your story to inspire continued change is optional.)
