Recap
Another great weather day in NE Ohio
Mother Nature was cooperating with our two day event. The first day featured public and Scout Orienteering. All levels of courses (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced) were available to the public at Camp Manatoc, the Boy Scout Camp in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A portion of the Beginner and Intermediate courses were also used for the North Eastern Ohio Scout Orienteering Championships (NOSOC).
The turnout was great from both the public and from the scouts (many of whom were camping out that weekend).
All scouting units (Cubs, Webelos, Boy Scouts, Venture Scouts, Girl Scouts, with their adult leaders) learned and practiced map and compass skills. Many troops work on orienteering related badge requirements. John Naizer and company used the Yellow course for Orienteering CampOree activities.
The day was capped off by an exciting short Night Orienteering Score course.
