Saturday Meeting at Arbor Hills Nature Reserve in Plano.  Lt. Zipper will give us a crash course in orienteering to prepare for the Jan 21-23 camp.
That is the only way for you to get the most of the exciting upcoming camp: the North Texas Orienteering LBJ Dill0-Goat Competition on 01/22.
We will meet at the playground at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve  https://goo.gl/maps/VPQF65BGQFLRirf2A at 1 PM.  Lt. Zipper will be there early to set up the course.  Anyone that gets there early is welcome to play and hang out together.
Around 1 PM we will start the training.  We will move to the pavilion if it is available (https://goo.gl/maps/8ydyUXWxd3VKXc7t6) .
We will discuss how to use a compass and read a map (the attached map and legend).
We will then walk the first 3 points of the yellow course as a group.  After that, groups will split up to different parts of the yellow course so that the boys will have a chance to work independently.  We will meet back up at the playground and have a Q&A session there to review what the boys learned independently.
See you there.
