Orienteering Day Recap:
A small but determined group of scouts returned to the BAC Orienteering Day today at Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation. Believe it or not, it was the third largest sporting event of the day state-wide (by number of participants). More than 440 scouts and another 160 scouters were in attendance representing troops from the DMV and Pennsylvania. Because of our small numbers, we joined forces with girl troop 192, who welcomed Maddie G as one of their own.
Everyone improved on their map and compass skills and several achieved much needed rank requirements. Our SPL and his senior advisor gained 10th place in the morning's "older" pairs competition. We will find out by email this week how the troop faired in the Scored Orienteering portion of the day, where the troops paired up again and went out to find as many controls as they could in a fixed time period. Great fun!! .
