Orienteering (scouting)

Orienteering is a type of scouting activity that is done outdoors. It is about using a map and a compass to find your way around an unfamiliar area. You need to be able to read the map and direction to the signs, paths and features on the map. Once you have a goal spot in mind, you need to plan a route to get there where you try to find the quickest and safest way. Depending on how difficult the area is, you can be timed while orienteering to make the activity more competitive.
