One of the recent developments in camping is "orienteering", a program using a map and compass. Orienteering can be dovetailed into an overall camping program and used to "point up" the entire program, or it can be confined to a single simple game. The arrangement depends on the situation. The minimum age of the participants should be about 9 or 10. The ideal size group to instruct at one time is 20. The following program suggestions are based on an arrangement that has been used under a variety of conditions: divide program into 3 main parts--(1) preliminary instruction to teach the simple use of a compass; (2) compass games; and (3) pointing up the general program--that is, a compass hike combining various outdoor skills into a unified adventure. There are no real limitations regarding the area to be used. A small back yard or even indoor rooms are usable. Instructions are also given for how to teach the Silva Compass, how to measure distance with a compass and how to organize a hike. (FF)
