Spring Orienteering

Earlier this month, Noah and his family from Radford, VA were up at Mountain Lake orienteering in a late spring snow. Noah was fulfilling his Map & Compass requirement for his Boy Scout Troop in Radford. They completed the "Beginner - White" course, and found a couple of additional controls along the way!

"Working on my map and compass skills was a whole lot more FUN than I thought it was going to be! I think that everyone would enjoy this orienteering course because there is fun and a different challenge for everyone - I can't wait to come back for more!" - Noah, age 11
