The ability to read a Map might seem endangered in an age of Sat-Nav's that verbalize routes but being able to read a map isn't even just a question of of finding which road or paths to take but also telling of you what to expect such as hills, streams, ancient sites and the gradients and being able to use to plan and follow a route.
It also covers being able to tell people where you are by using grid co-ordinates and find people using that yourself.
I learned that at boarding school and so yes I certainly would of earned the Ordinance Survey sponsored badge.
Moving to the right hand side, we have the Personal Safety award which is about knowing how to keep yourself safe in the 'real' physical world, to be able to identify threats and know how to deal with them. This is something I have worked on as my disabilities potentially make more vulnerable.
Finally we have the My Faith badge which is about understand the history and teachings of your own faith and from that how you treat others. I had sufficient understanding of my Christian Science Faith at the time to had been award it.
