There are 4 levels of each of the Community, Recreation and Skills badges, and you should aim to gain 1 level for each badge every year you are in the Company Section. But, Remember you can only count a maximum of 4 points from any Topic (the blue circle in the Discover Wheel) towards a Badge. This does not mean you cannot do more than 4 hours of activity in that Topic, just that you can only count 4 hours. Here are some examples. |
