Description

Orienteering around the Raha KCC campus.

This Orienteering Challenge Worksheet is designed to guide scouts through a structured outdoor navigation activity around the school campus. It includes six checkpoints, each with a unique challenge that reinforces key orienteering skills such as using a compass, estimating distances, and problem-solving. The tasks vary from taking bearings to identifying objects by touch, solving riddles, and making accurate step estimations. Scouts will document their answers as they progress, ensuring an interactive and engaging experience. The worksheet also includes bonus challenges to encourage accuracy and teamwork. At the end of the activity, scouts will return to the starting point to review their answers with the leader.
