    Getting Your Bearings

    Equipment: Topographic map, compasses, pencils; for each Scout, photocopy of a section of the master map.

    Method: On signal, the first Scout in each patrol runs to the master map. The leader names or points to two locations or features on the master map (buildings, rock outcroppings, hilltops, bridges, etc.). The Scout takes bearings from one to the other, draws the route on his photocopied map, and writes bearings on it. He then runs back to touch off the next patrol member.
    Scoring: The winning patrol is the one with the most compass bearings correct, within 5 degrees. This is not a speed contest; however, if two patrols have identical scores, the fastest one wins.
