Home & Family for 2010
 





 

Home & Family Overview for 2010

For the Mountaineer, Inspirator and Adventurer levels... to achieve the level you only need to do either Home or Family assignments... not both.  But to earn the Summiteer Level you will need to do both Home and Family for those previous levels plus an extra assignment.  The bonus is optional... but would be wonderful if you could complete it.
