Why: So we can find our way

Test out your troop or crew member’s navigation skills at this exciting map and compass competition. Scouts and Crew members with compete in age groups and different course levels in the morning as individuals. The afternoon event is designed around competing as a unit (Troop or Crew) to gather the greatest score than the other scouting units. This is our first time trying this event and it is highly encouraged for all Philmont Scouts.

Cost: $12/ person

We’re planning on participating in the NCAC Orienteering Meet this year in a few weeks.  More details can be found at the link below.  This event is highly encouraged for Philmont scouts to help prepare for navigation requirements on our trek.  All scouts are welcome and this is a good way to fulfill requirements for the merit badge.
We are not planning on making this a camping event, so it will just be a day trip with an early start.  We’ll need to be down in Prince William Forest at 0800.  Please sign up at the link below so I can get us registered.
Thanks,
Make sure you bring a camelback, canteen, or other way to carry water with you.

And of course- there is a Merit Badge!!!  Be sure to ask for your Blue Card ahead of time
