Walking-stick levels

Every ring tells
a story of progress.

Personalize the stick. Keep the colors consistent. Each color identifies the requirements a boy is working on.

Wood-burned marks can represent units within a level. Trains may choose a different mark or method. An optional paracord wrap and 45-degree sight hole are examples of personalization, not required features.

Completed concentrations are recognized with pins attached to the stick.
