The need for society is one of the four mandatory needs of the tarpa program.
This is a sign under the new tarpon program (released in August 2017).
[Tarpot] (https://scandinavianoutdoor.fi/partio/partiomerkit/?property=tarpojien-merkit) are collected around the start mark and purchased separately about every six months
Tarpojat are 13-15 year old scouts
