Find Your Way
On this #ThrowbackThursday we turn the pages of the April 1949 second printing of the Handbook For Boys.
This is a compass course such as you might walk, for which you would take three compass readings and measure three distances with your step.
You would be shown the starting point. then you would be told to go 100 degrees for 165 feet, until you found a stake; then to go 195 degrees for 90 feet, to the second object; then to go 300 degrees for 160 feet, to the end of the course.
On each leg of the course, first set your compass, then find a landmark on the required compass degree reading. Then walk toward the landmark for the required number of steps.
