Orienteering Course at Kimball Pond


As part of the First Class Rank Requirements, Troop 99 created their own orienteering course. Orienteering is the sport of navigation, and the goal is to complete a course of unfamilar terrain in point-to-point order, using only a compass and map.


The requirements for First Class Scout as listed by the BSA are:


 

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, canyon, ditch, etc.).


 

Not to be underestimated, Troop 99 leaders created a course of five miles for the scouts to follow, set up throughout Kimball Pond in Dunbarton, NH. This course traversed woods, and even across a beaver dam for a bridge.
