That was really fun, although a shame that scouting presents such little challenge. I finished in the first week, on Tuesday at 10:15PM, which amounts to 3735 mins

Welcome to the forum. And thanks for participating.

I finished on Monday at 3:54PM. Spreadsheet puts that at 1914. I was hoping for a little better of a time but I know at least one mistake I made.

Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and Tweedled'oh collected all their badges by 6:46 a.m. of the first Monday.
Score: 1,363 minutes

Usually, I earn the badges in the process of completing aspirations and attending school, so this was pretty fun.
And may I just thank the Challenges Team for the way they keep switching around the pace and feel of the various challenges to keep us feeling "fresh"!
Also, I always forget to thank LenaLJ for her wonderful spreadsheets.

All done. My 3 scouts finished on Thursday of week 1 at 8:37 AM -- 5,797 minutes.

EDIT: Look at the challenge team all grouped up at the bottom. Okay, Lena...break a rule or something so you can DNF and finish close to us mere mortals. ;)

Just because we can make them up doesn't mean we can actually play them. Except for Lena, of course.

I am sorry to disappoint @Metropolis Man but I had to go for a victory.

My 3 young children Gabriel, Kathy and Trinity managed to collect the last badge at 02:09 on the first Monday. Whic brings them to a score of 1089, that was extremely close :O

Yes, indeed. And it's going to be amazing how Lena just narrowed the gap in the World Ranking. It was so close already. It's truly going to come down to which of these two Sim giants will do better in the Final as to who gets first overall...at least that's my prediction. And knowing how both are...each is going to wait until the last day to post their score lol.

I must say I found this challenge amazing. The very shortness of it really opened up for testing.
During the tests I had end times all the way down to ending at 01:12 AM, but in the final run it ended up being 02:09 AM

It was all about timing and doing the tasks for the badges as fast as possible.

So I started out with making a club, with the only activity being drawing.
The I invited 2 sims that had the family oriented trait, as I hope that they would encourage and help with homework by themselves, that worked out rather well.

The order I did the badges and what I did:

1. Arts and Crafts:
Make crafts at the childrens drawing table. The mom encouraged one of the children, and the two others where encouraged by the club members, once in a while.
This one is taking alot of time. But after this, the club had enough points to get "Rally the troops"

2. Scholarly Aptitude:
Can be completed with one setting of doing homework. Mom again helped one, and the two club members instantly helped the other two.

3. Young Scientist:
Que up experiments at the science table. As soon as the action starts, cancel it. This is very very fast.

4. Sociability:
Friendly interactions with mom and the 2 club members. Its just to choose fast ones like "Ask about day" etc.

5. Good Deeds:
As soon as the Sociability is done, turn over to funny interaction to get them to laugh.

6. Give Back:
The crafts made earlier can now be given away on the PC for charity. Also very very fast.

7. Civic Responsibilities:
Make a mess, as soon as the action starts, stop it, clean it up, and make a mess again, tedious, but it works.

8. Outdoor Adventurer:
Que go fishing, as soon as it counts, cancel the task, again extremely fast.

9. Keep Fit:
The one I had the most struggle with finding a fast way to do.
But the swing saved me. Just que up swing actions, and wait on them complete.

Lastly it was just to collect the badges at the board.
