Often scouts are not sure what proficiency badge(s) they can achieve, even though they know they need at least two for each Award badge level to obtain the Cord. This chart gives an few suggestions based on what interests a scout may have.
Sometimes creative thinking will help you to realise you have already done enough to pass the badge, and all you need to do is get the info together to have it assessed by your leader or advisor.
