Saturday morning 9/19
The Conservation Project at Warriors Path State Park was first completed… including filling several bags with trash, finding a baby snapping turtle, a mouse and a lost dog that went to the local shelter.
Afterwards, many scouts stayed around to gain training and demonstration of Orienteering skills. We covered First Class requirement #4a: Using a map and compass, complete an orienteering course that covers at least one mile and requires measuring the height and/ or width of designated items (tree, tower, ditch, etc.). This skill demonstration was needed by 28 scouts in the troop. However, it will be staged again for the half that missed this opportunity.
Orienteering merit badge was also offered.
Req. 2 – What is Orienteering?
Req. 4 a.- 4 f. – Topographical Maps (terrain features, symbols, declination, orient map with compass).
Req. 5 – 100-Meter Pace Course
Req. 9 – Older Scouts working on merit badge, Act as an official during the event. Thank you Jack, Josh and Nathan B !!!
