Map reading in the field

Source: roverscout1love

Map reading in the field isn't so different than doing so in the scout hut or for that matter at school involving using the scale to ascertain distances, noting the six figure grid reference and notable features so you can be sure you are on the correct pathway.

The main challenge in the field is holding it and this Scout not being based in the UK has disadvantage as our Ordinance Survey maps used for scouting and hiking are designed to fold up neatly so while having a flat surface to rest it on is a help, you can use it without with just the sections you need on display.

It is also something I'm very good at.
