When a member completes an individual project (like the Ice Breaker or the Researching and Presenting project), they have to mark that project complete. When all the projects in a level have been completed, they have to send a notice to the Base Camp Manager (usually the club's VP-Education, but the President and the Secretary can also carry out Base Camp Manager duties).
Here are the steps.
When the member has completed the necessary projects in the level, their transcript for the level will look like this. All the projects will be checked off, and the Level Completion project at the bottom will be accessible and the button will say “Activate.”
When they click the “Activate” button, it will change to “Launch.”
When they click the “Launch” button, it will change to “Mark Complete.”
When they click “Mark Complete,” a message will be sent to the Base Camp Manager saying that the member has finished the level, and they need approval from the Base Camp Manager before they can proceed to the next level.
When the Base Camp Manager signs in, they will see
They need to click on the “Pending Requests” button. When they do, they will see a screen with pending requests (duh!). (Right-click this image to see it at full size.)
Over on the right, they can click the check mark to approve, or the X mark to disapprove. Assuming that they know that the member has indeed fulfilled the requirements, they should click the check mark.
When the member logs back in to their transcript, the Level Completion project will be marked complete (with its check mark) and the button will say “View Certificate.”
They can bring up the certificate and print it.
I recommend that the VP-Education print the certificate and present it to the member at an upcoming meeting. It's good to acknowledge members when they complete a new level.
