Thursday 4th October saw the Scouts test out their map reading abilities. The Scouts grouped up into three patrols, the Wolves, Lions and Bull Dogs. Each patrol were led by their patrol leader.

We showed the patrols a symbol and they had to find the symbol and the map coordinates. As they were all in competition with each other to find the symbols first, each patrol had to make a noise to notify the Scout Leaders they've found it. The Bull Dogs barked, the Lions roared and the Wolves howled. It sounded like the Scouts had gone mad!

It was a successful map reading evening, and we had a lot of fun whilst learning. The winning team though was the Lions with 7 points. Wolves came second with 3 points, and Bull Dogs fell behind with only 1 point. Well done Lions!

Next meeting the Scouts can put these map reading skills to the test as they do a quiz around Trafford.
