Orienteering Team

Land Navigation & Orienteering is for cadets in any grade, degrees of fitness and skill. orienteering develops a cadet in ways sitting in a classroom cannot. Decision making,
judgement, calculations on the fly, strategy, communicating, planning, dealing with failure, and changing course are all valuable skills honed as they compete.
Competitive orienteering involves running from point to point. It is more demanding than road running, not only because of the terrain, but because the participant must make decisions, and keep track of the distance covered. Although orienteering challenges both the mind and the body, the teams competitive ability to think under pressure and make wise decisions is sometimes more important than speed or endurance.
There are different types of Land Navigation & Orienteering events such as Route Orienteering, Line Orienteering, Cross-Country Orienteering and Score Orienteering.
A JROTC team is usually comprised of 2 to 4 person teams that compete in Orienteering Meets annually. Each event has a number of control points, each with a point value a specific start and finish point and specific time limit (usually 90 minutes). To ensure the safety and welfare of all participants a host school requires participants to compete in teams. All contestants/teams are required to have a compass, safety whistle, canteen of water, a watch or time piece, a map with clues and score card before setting out on the terrain course.
