Update to Primary Badges: Citizenship Sections

Organization Specific Topics Scouts Australia

Since my last check of the badgework setup in TroopTrack against the 2014 Scout Record Book, I have been advised that a new Award Requirement Item (5 in all cases) has been added to each of the three Primary Badges Citizenship sections.

Whilst I have detailed below the new requirements to be added, they can equally be verified using the following Public information available at: http://scouts.cubstuff.info/award_scheme.htm

One concern I have is, if the new requirement is inserted and those that follow are pushed down, will the achievement records be maintained correctly, such that a scout that had recorded complete the old item 5 for Heritage, will still show this as complete against its new item #6?

Primary Target Badge: Pioneer - Citizenship Section, Please insert the new requirement of:-
