In most #Scouting activities I was better in actual outdoor use than in indoor study. Except the compass. I was great at using a compass to figure out a destination on a map, but in the only outdoor exercise our group got lost.
I think we were at Spring Lake because I remember there were pine trees and it was very sandy. We were given a list of compass bearings and distances. We must have taken a wrong turn or something because eventually somebody showed up to get us back to camp. I don’t remember how they ever found us. It was embarrassing. I don’t remember ever again actually using a compass to navigate to somewhere.
