At Kings Gap there are three permament Orienteering Courses. Teams are given a map with instructions for various courses (White - Beginner, Yellow - Moderate, Orange - Advance). Note: Map content shown here blurred on purpose. Each course starts and finishes at the same location. Troop 103 chose the Yellow Course Map that showed ten (10) specific control points marked on the map for just that course. Control Points are also marked in the field with a white post with numbers and letters marked near the top of the post. The Yellow course was about 2.5 miles long. Scouts are given a start time and attempt to complete the course in the best time. The path that they take from control point to control point is chosen by the scouts. They choose the best path based on features shown on the map like steepness of terrain, obstacles like rock formations, the existing trails between both points, etc.
