NCAC Scouts Bring Home Honors from the 47th Annual MD Scout Orienteering Day

December 8, 2023 by Dave Linthicum

Arlington Troop 111’s from Chain Bridge District edged Potomac District Troop 439 in Kensington at the 47th Annual Md. Scout Orienteering Day on Oct. 28, 2023 at Patuxent River Park near Upper Marlboro. Over 50 units took part, 26 from NCAC, with attendance up this year to over 450 scouts.

Girls had a best-ever 22% of the attendance and also a best-ever 22% of the top (50) places, including the winning pair in the 198-scout older category, Emma T/Emma Th. from Troop 191 in King George, VA. They edged out Christian R./Brendan K. from Troop 111 and Eliot D./AJ S. from overall 3rd place Troop 647, Arlington.

Mike C. of Troop 111 nosed out troop-mates Hayden B. and Potter H. and Connor L. of DC Troop 1946 on the “super-advanced” 4.4 km course. Arlington Troop 164 was fourth overall, just ahead of Beltsville T. 1033.

SPL Ben P. led Troop 439 and, with Jonah C., topped 439’s total team-effort in the fun “free-for-all” Score Orienteering. That event also had nearly 100 adults “racing” around the forest, seeking some of the 53 different markers over 3 square miles.

College Park Troop 740’s Lazarus K./Horatio G./Nathanael J. won the 241-scout younger category, edging out Troop 111’s Will Kennedy/Jack M. and Sam B./Ravi K. Each scout and participating adult received three special, new color maps in addition to answer keys, instructional tips, and patches.

Jim Chaplin’s big 19th Annual NCAC Scout Orienteering Day (scoutingevent.com/082-2024ScoutOrienteering) will be on May 4 at N. VA’s Prince Wm. Forest Park . The next MD Scout Orienteering Day will be at Broad Creek Mem. Scout Res. in Harford Co. on Nov. 2, 2024: see BaltimoreBSA.org/orienteering for more details (and full 2023 results) and qocweb.org for good DC-area orienteering events suitable for scouts.
