Calendar of events - Sun 11th Apr 2010
The Youth Rangers programme of forthcoming events can be seen here. Rollover the dates to see what's going to happen.
Sun 11th Apr 10 @ 10:00 Navigation
Navigation skills take up a large section of the Youth Ranger Programme and the group can even gain the National Navigation Award Scheme at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels, if they complete the course.
They will be taught about grid references, map symbols, estimating distances, magnetic variation of maps, using compass bearings, understanding limiting factors such as height gain or loss by studying contours.
These skills will eventually lead to them planning and walking a safe route in line with criteria in duration, difficulty and specific navigation objectives.
