Completing a Special Interest Area Project

Use this guide to Plan, Do, and Review your own program pathway to achieve a Special Interest Area (SIA) project at Star Trek: Survival!


Step 1: Plan your Adventure

Review the Missions available at Star Trek Survival, and think about what outcomes you can achieve towards a Special Interest Area.

Each Mission has a set of outcomes that you can use to determine possible achievements from the Missions. These outcomes provide you with a guide to help you Plan your achievements.


Step 2: Propose the Plan to Unit Council

Once you've shaped your program outcomes, present your plan to your Unit Council for approval.

Don't forget to include backup plans in case your Mission can't be completed. You can do this by thinking about other ways you can achieve your goals, like doing similar alternative Missions or completing a follow-up activity.

Your Unit Council can guide you with this, and by preparing a "Plan B" in your Plan, it is easier to succeed.


Step 3: Start Doing!

You can start Doing work towards your Special Interest Area project before the event.

Begin any tasks that will help you prepare or make you ready for Star Trek: Survival. This could be in the form of research, skill-building, or whatever you think will help you achieve your plans as outlined to your Unit Council.

Keep an eye on the Mission pages in the lead up to the event, especially the ones that you have selected as your preferred Missions.


Step 4: Experience your program at the event

As a Patrol, Do as many Missions as you can. The number of Missions you complete is up to you, so the more you participate, the more you can achieve, and the more you can include in your project.

Star Trek: Survival is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, make friends, and kick goals by following your Plan and ticking off Missions Outcomes as you complete each one.


Step 5: Complete your achievements

Finalise any outstanding tasks you may have to Do to complete your Plan towards your Special Interest Area project.


Step 6: Review your hard work

Review your achievements with your Unit Council to share your success to get your project signed off!
