Notes:
Good for newer scouts to build compass experience.
Instructions:
Set a time limit of 6-8 minutes.
On 'GO' signal, scouts go to any stake they want. At each stake, write down what object they believe the arrow is pointing at by the corresponding number on their paper. Then, figure the bearing from the stake to that object and write it down. (Or, just find the bearing of the arrow on the marker)
When all stakes have been done or when time is called, each scout turns their paper into the judge for scoring.
