Maps & Compass training is recommended for Troop/Group Volunteers who would like to learn how to read a map and navigate using a compass.
In this hands-on training, you will learn the basics of reading a topographical map, learn and practice how to use a base plate compass, how to take a bearing and measure a bearing on a map, be introduced to a sighting compass, and learn how to plot a simple course for girls to follow.
Teaching girls Maps & Compass skills are strongly recommended for participating at events like Junior Jam, Cadette-O-Rama, GAM, wilderness hiking or for those who simply want to help their girls develop new skills!
Suggested item to bring to training:
- A liquid-filled baseplate compass
