Curious about how to use a map and compass, and how to teach those skills to your Girl Scouts? Thinking about bringing your troop to an orienteering event but don't know what to expect? Then come join volunteers from the New England Orienteering Club to learn how to read and orient a map and tips for how to pass those skills along to your troop members. You will participate in a short orienteering course to practice your new skills. Bring your own compass or borrow one of ours. Maps in plastic map bags will be provided. Event will occur in rain or snow or sun. Please dress to be outside the whole time. This training is being offered free of charge by the New England Orienteering Club to help prepare troop leaders and helpers thinking about bringing their troop to an orienteering event. Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts who are interested in teaching these skills to younger Girl Scouts may attend.
