This Sunday (14th November) we are participating is our first orienteering activity of the year. It is being held in Currabinny Woods. This is part of a County scout event and other groups will also be participating throughout the day. Our allocated slot is from 10am until 12 noon.
Macaoimh should wear warm clothes and a rain jacket and must wear their neckerchief. If the weather is cold a hat and gloves would be advisable. Macaoimh can also bring a light snack and a drink for afterwards. No eating or drinking is allowed in the woods, so the snack and any other gear should be in a backpack, which can be left in the car park.
As this is a short activity, if parents or other family members would like to participate on the day we will have spare maps and cards available with a choice of a basic 60minute or an advanced 90 minute course. There is no charge for this activity.
Orienteering is a great introduction to map reading – an essential scout skill and we would hope that everybody can turn up on Sunday
