Last weekend I joined the Scouts at the annual nocturnal competition. The Scouts have to read a grid reference and then navigate their way to a base. Once there they undertake an activity.
This year included fire lighting, pioneering, first aid, an assault course, communication, a challenge, mapping and a hot drink. Points are awarded for each base and penalty points deducted for finishing late.
There are also several checkpoints to pas through en route to ennsure everyone is on tack and heading in the correct direction!
This year we did not fair so well coming 8th out of ten teams. Oh well we will try again next year!
