A good bit of "document and discuss" "research" "consider".  Very much a classroom exercise

Requirement 6 will be interesting: Interesting it could be a Scout

Requirement 7 could be also interesting.  The historical figure will be the path many will choose

Identify and interview an individual in your community, school, and/or Scouting who has had a significant positive impact in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. If you feel your community, school, or local Scouting group does not have such an individual, then research a historical figure who meets these criteria,and discuss that person with your counselor
