It's on the map, it takes a couple of seconds. If you look there is the City Hall station right there above Orlando, let's say the Orlando hospital, you can see there are several hospitals around Orlando, if we zoom out, come on, there are a lot of them, it's like a group of hospitals here and if you use your mind Even more, there are even more so you can identify the one closest to your home. Let's say I live somewhere to the east. I would say one of these is the closest for attractions. I wonder what attractions there are in Orlando Orlando Universal attractions, yes, Highlands and Islands of Adventure, so Islands of Adventure, that's a cool thing, such interesting points of interest.

I don't know why it's protected like this, but 2a4 says it's a historical or other interesting point of interest. Universal, there's a ton of other things here in Orlando, Gardens SeaWorld, so once you have all these maps, all you can do is describe to your counselor where their locations are and how they benefit your community, and that was just ...Moving on to, whether you say plot your local or state government organization as a kind of hierarchy of the different levels of government organization, show the top positions and say whether they are elected or appointed.

I guess you could say that the senators are at the top, but in the graph I also found the governor, so three says do the following: three to ten, demoting your city or the county council or the school board or attending a municipal county or court session now says attend a meeting, it doesn't say you actually have to like being physically at the meeting, however you have to pay attention to it, so I asked my counselor and he verified this idea of searching for council meeting meetings online because I know there are several sites that have council meetings on different topics and as long as you know, it's like a real meaning of a school board or City Council or something like that.

In that sense, and our advisor approves, it could still count because he is an accountant who is attending the meeting even though he is not physically there, at least that is what my advisor said. For example, requirement number three would count. Look up. in provide schools they have a thing where you can look up videos of previous school board meetings so right now it was like december 19th so i looked up this board meeting from december 17th it was basically about the areas of zoning for the new schools that could be come and talk about funding for different school programs, that was the goal, as you can see, it has different rates on which of the timestamps actually talk about those things, so I checked and went to when I started about improvement plans. and I started taking notes on the different sides and when you play it it gives off different things too and I don't want to say different things but the audio you get is like you're really there so my counselor approved it saying this would count because it's a meaning real meeting that was verified by the public school, the public school system and it runs through all that meaning, so if you sit there and watch it, take notes and explain to your counselor what the purpose of the meeting is. so I'm pretty sure your counselor approves of this too and 3b says to pick a topic discussed in that meeting where differences of opinions were expressed so this is where I have to pay attention and take notes because if you don't know you won't be able to Do this because you won't know the different sides of the opinions.
Also explain to your advisor why he agrees more with one opinion than another that was presented during the meeting, moving on to number four. Choose an issue that is important to the citizens of your community, then do one of the following. Sorry, do the next, not one, so do all four, sorry, find out which branch of local government is responsible for that issue with your counselors and parental approval interview a person from the branch of government you identified as a requirement for a now again with this one, you don't have to meet them face to face if you have noticed both of them on almost every website related to problems they always say, ask more questions or contact us or see more in this email to this number to interview, you can send them an email, make a phone call or have some type of communication with them to ask about this requirement, so for this requirement I looked up Rivard County because that is part of the government, the branch of government, So, what you say with the approval of your parents and the Council, interview a person.
I emailed a representative of our beautiful organization and asked about the requirements, when I didn't say the specific requirement, but in the email I asked. I talked to them about the topic of beach conservation because beaches is something I have done before, where I have conserved beaches by cleaning up trash, but I wanted to ask them what they are doing to help clean the beaches and why many places, rivers and lagoons in Florida are very polluted, so I asked them how young people can help and if they have any opportunities for scouts and my troop and to be with the approval of their counselors and parents.
Interview a person from a branch of government that you identify. any requirement for a now again, this does not have to be a literal face to face communication, you can send them an email, contact them by phone, as long as there is some kind of communication between both of you regarding this requirement, asking about the different topics . they want you to ask, so it also says to ask what is being done about this topic and how young people can help and also share what you have learned with your counselor, so I just emailed myself a topic based in conservation with beaches in Florida number five says with the approval of the councilor and your parents watch a movie that shows how the actions of an individual or group can have a positive effect on the community by doing so, talk to your counselor about what you learn from the movie what it means to be a valued member of the community, so I don't know if any of you have seen this movie.
It is quite old but quite popular. It's called It's a Wonderful Life. Basically, the movie It's a Wonderful Life is about one character. named George Bailey, who helps everyone else in his community before himself, puts aside his desires for the needs of the building and lends loans for his friends and family, and does it all while keeping his community in balance and He makes sure everyone cares about him. he's fine, but sometimes he thinks about making sure he himself is fine and that part of the movie is how he affects other people and how what he does to himself could also affect everyone else.
It also lists some services like plumbing for a library recreation center. transportation that your community provides and is funded by taxpayers, tell your counselor why these services are important to your community. This is what I did at summer camp, but we basically talked. I mean, I really don't know how to explain it. This is quite simple. -explanatory in the requirement so I'll continue, your requirement number seven again does the following? you have to do all this 7a identified three key non-scan charities that you care about and bring people together in your community and working for the good of your community is now a little redundant.
I don't know why it is worded like that. Also choose one of the organizations you chose for the 7a requirements. Use a variety of resources. Learn more about this organization, such as Flyers Newspapers. Internet, anything else you can discover, and with the approval of your counselors and parents, contact your chosen organization, find out what youth can do to help, and while working on this merit badge, volunteer at least eight hours of your time to the organization, so Basically, it was a lot to choose three organizations on an issue that were on a topic or issue that is important or that you think is important to research on that topic and what our organization does, communicates with you, it's like an organization and then you volunteer eight hours of service. and it has to be unrelated to Scouting or unaffiliated with Scouting, which means if your church has anything to do with a food drive that could work as long as it's not specifically for food scanning or something like that, It could be a food drive as part of it. of the church that could still work, so that's what I did.
I'm not at eight hours yet, but I'm still working towards 7c. She also says that after your volunteer experience is over, talk to your counselor about what you've learned. The latter says. To develop a public presentation about important or unique aspects of your community, include information about the history, cultures and ethnic groups of your community, through its best features and popular places where people met the challenges they face and once You are done with that stage, presentation in front of your marriage counselor or a group like your Patrol or a class at school and that is the last requirement for this badge.
