Name the three main parts of the sanctuary and the court yard.

Suggested tool for this honor: A simple composition book, spiral notebook, or equivalent "journal" will be a huge asset to earning this honor. Be sure each entry is clearly titled so that they can go back and reference each entry later in the experience. The same journal could be used if they go on to earn the advanced honor.
