On October 28 troops & Venture crews are challenged to test (and learn!) map skills at the 47th Annual Maryland Scout Orienteering Day, a fun event at Patuxent River Park near Upper Marlboro. The event cost is $4.00 (patch, 3 new color maps, more) plus $2/person/night if camping (about half of our usual ~50 units camp one or both nights.)
Come for the day, or camp on site. No Cubs, no Webelos. Self-guided map instruction starts off the day, designed for beginners to this forest navigation map sport. Register at BaltimoreBSA.org/orienteering by Oct. 22. Questions?…. contact event chair DaveLinthicum@earthlink.net
Last year NCAC had the usual 50% of attendees and most of the award winners, led by Arlington’s Troop 111 from Chain Bridge District and Kensington’s 439 from Potomac District…. For more, see https://weownadventure.com/troops-111-and-439-tops-at-orienteering/
