==1. Define Geocaching.== 


Geocaching is an entertaining outdoor adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the Internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

==2. Identify the technological tools necessary for geocaching.== 
* Geocache membership
* A GPS device or a mobile phone
* The geocaching app and access to the app
* Other non-technological tools you may take, including:
** Extra logbooks
** Pen/Pencils
** Torch/head torch
** Spare batteries
** Sunscreen
** Hat
** Rain poncho
** Water
** Multi-tool
** Swag
** Grabbing tool
** Retractable mirror

==3. Define or identify the following geocaching terms:== 

===a. Container=== 
The container is what contains the geocache. Your container should be waterproof to protect cache contents from rain, snow, ice, and condensation. If you place your cache in direct sunlight, choose a container that won’t degrade quickly from exposure. The lid and base should be made from the same material. If they are made from different materials, the seal will degrade faster.

===b. Log book=== 
In each cache at the final location the container has a log. consisting of paper, a little book, a scroll of paper where the cacher writes their trail name, caching name and date found. These would normally be inside a plastic bag within the container. Remember to replace it and seal the container well. Virtual, earthcaches, and several more types have no actual container.

===c. Cache Owner (CO)=== 
The person who creates the cache and submits it to the reviewers for publication. They have control of cachers online logs they can delete is needed. It is their responsibility to maintain their cache.

===d. Coordinates=== 
This is the GPS location of the cache, stages, listed location. Here is an example S46 22.325 E168 20.985 The S= South E=East N= North W- West. In other countries the coordinates could be N88 33.561 E168 20.665.
There are different datums used but the example is the most commonly used.

===e. Muggle=== 
This term is from Lord Of The Rings. Literally means someone who is not a cacher.

===f. Smilie/Find=== 
Once you have logged as found the cache on the online page the green box or ? etc. on the map changes to a smilie. A yellow circle with the smiling face meaning that you have found it. On your online profile your finds are collated. So beside your caching name will be a smilie with your total number of finds.

===g. Caching Name/geonic/username (Login)=== 
Most cachers do not use their own name for their user name. This is to keep you a little more private. So be creative and have your own that means something to you.

===h. Travel Bug/Travel Coin=== 
Travel bugs and coins can be purchased on ground speak and other merchant sites. Once you have receiver yours you can name it, set targets, attach items to it. They usually come in the form of Dog Tags. These have a code stamped on them. Once you have set them up online you release them and log them into a cache for other finders to either log as discovered or log as taken from a cache. Then these TB's travel to another cache. The person that now has it can log it a visiting a cache or leaving it in a cache. Then others can do similar. The CO gets notification when your TB has been shifted from a cache and where it gets left in a cache. The TB accumulates a travel distance.


Coins are similar. They are a specially designed coin with a number on it. They are treated like normal TBs.


Finders should log it out of a cache and log it into another faithfully. In this way they don't get lost and the CO knows where they are. It is fun to see where your TBs are around the world and learn of other cuntries. Google earth and street view are handy in this.

==4. Define and give examples of the different sizes of caches.== 

===a. Extra Small/Micro/Nano=== 

===b. Small=== 

===c. Medium/regular=== 

===d. Large=== 

===e. Other=== 

==5. Define and identify on a caching map the following types of geocaches:== 

===a. Traditional=== 


This is the original cache type consisting, at a bare minimum, a container and a logbook. Normally you'll find a Tupperware container, ammo box, or bucket filled with goodies. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page is the exact location for the cache. The general rule of thumb is, "If you take an item, leave an item of equal or greater value, and write in the logbook." Some caches are themed, so make sure to read the description before going on a hunt.

===b. Multi-cache=== 


This is a cache where you may have to visit multiple locations close within 8 km of the listed coordinates. At each of these stages you will need to gather the information required and work out using instructions on the cache page the coordinates for the final. The container at the final will usually hold the log to record your visit and swaps and possibly a pen or pencil. Some multi caches are a simple 2 stage but some may have 10 or more stages increasing the skill level and of course enjoyment.

===c. Mystery=== 
Usually called an '''Unknown cache''' and is displayed on the map with a '''?'''. These can be puzzle caches where you may have to spend lots of time deciphering a code or puzzle before you go to find the container. The container usually is NOT at the listed coordinates. You can have lots of fun and frustration solving these. You can also message others who have found it or even the CO for some further hints. A useful web page to help solve these geocachingtoolbox.com. The final is usually withing 5 km of given location.

===d. Virtual=== 


This is not a physical cache, but rather a place of usually historical or local interest; that is, a commemorative plaque, sign, object, or building. Virtual caches are grandfathered on Geocaching.com. In 2020 a special release of more Virtual caches was given to a selection of CO in many countries. In most cases the finder has to provide some location explicit answer or upload a photo. This prevents armchair cachers logging these from their home without actually visiting the location. New virtual caches are now accepted only on [http://www.waymarking.com waymarking.com].

===e. Earthcache=== 
Earthcaches are of a scientific nature. Needing observations, some experiments, and opinions given. Before you can log these you actually need to visit the site get information, see things, think about things. Then you need to send the CO the required information and get permission to log as found.


There is a separate honour for this type of cacheing. Scientific Geocaching. The name from memory.

===f. Letterbox OR Whereigo=== 
;Letterbox hybrid caches: These are like traditional caches having a container with log book etc. But these also have a stamp and sometimes inkpad. When the finder finds these if they are a Letterbox finder they will have their own logging book to record their finds and their own personal stamp. They use the cache stamp to stamp their personal logbook and then stamp the cache logbook with their stamp and write the date found. This type of cache can be found by both Letterboxer and geocacher people. If the person is in both sports they log in the respective web site they are involved in.


The cache stamp must remain in the cache and is not counted as a swap. The cache must be available to both Geocachers and Letterboxers and not be just a cache with a stamp. Therefore should be listed in the various Letterboxing websites as well as geocaching sites. There is a separate honour called Letterboxing.


;Whereigo caches: You need to download to your device the app so you can play. Then download the cartridge for the particular Wherigio then go to the location open the files follow instructions to you get to the end and that is where the container is. You do need phone service coverage for the game to load properly and this can be problematic in some locations.


There are more types available. Webcam caches, Event caches, Lab caches and several more.

==6. What items may be left in a geocache? Which items may not?== 
Small swaps for children, little toys and other small objects. If the logbook getting full you can leave more paper. But put a note of this on your online log so the CO knows maintenance is needed.
Travel bugs and coins


Things not to leave. Food including lollies. These get soft and gooey and then leak making a sticky mess. Advertising promotional material. Anything that is not family friendly.

==7. What is meant by Cache In, Trash Out (CITO)?== 


An activity held sacred by Pathfinders everywhere, Trash Out simply means to take along a plastic trash bag while hunting Geocaches and picking up trash on the way.

==8. Demonstrate two ways of finding the location of a geocache in your area on a caching website or caching app.== 


Have the student look on the website, [http://www.geocaching.com www.geocaching.com]. This is a family-friendly, kid-friendly website. Two methods of finding a location are:
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then enter a zip code in the "By Postal Code" box.
* From the Main Page on the top drop-down menu, click on "Hide and Seek a Cache" then enter an address in the "Address" box.
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then choose a state in the "By State" box.

==9. Use the following features (or their equivalent) on a GPS receiver and website or caching app:== 

===a. Find by GC Code=== 

===b. Find by location=== 

===c. Filter locations (choose just those with a Difficulty rating of 3 or lower and Terrain of 3 or lower, for example)=== 

===d. Compass=== 

===e. Map Directions=== 

===f. Description=== 

===g. Previous logs=== 

===h. Hint=== 

==10. Find three geocaches in your area, at least one of which must be a regular (traditional) cache.== 
Why only three you may ask, and I have asked this. In some parts of the world there may not yet be many about, so to find three without having to travel 100s of km would be feasible. Of course in many places in the world people find 100 in a day. Not me though the most I have done is 34 in a day.

==11. Read and discuss Matthew 6:19-21 and Jeremiah 29:13, and determine their relevance to geocaching.== 


{{Bible verse
|book=Matthew
|chapter=6
|verse=19-21
|version=NKJV
|text=“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
}}


Sometimes geocaches succumb to the elements. The containers can get broken, or the cache could be found by someone who doesn't know what it is, and they throw it away or destroy it. Sometimes the log in the cache is too soaked to sign. When you find one of these, it would be good to think of this verse. We can depend on our treasure in heaven!


{{Bible verse
|book=Jeremiah
|chapter=29
|verse=13
|version=NKJV
|text=And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
}}


It is possible to visit some caches several times before finally finding it. Sometimes the cache owner can be exceedingly clever and hide a cache in plain sight. It is possible to look right at it and not recognize it for what it is, even though it is the one thing you are searching for! But persistence pays off. When you have trouble finding a cache, think about this verse, and take comfort in knowing that when you seek the Lord, you will always be repaid.

==12. Discuss safety concerns you should consider when geocaching. View the attributes of a nearby cache to identify caching hazards identified by cache owners.== 


Dangers include heights, falls, traffic, rough terrain, poisonous plants (like poison ivy or poison oak), snakes, spiders, wild animals, strangers, etc. Do not geocache alone or at night in a remote area. Wear sturdy shoes as for hiking and make sure to take plenty of water when hiking to a remote area or for any distance. Let someone know what you are doing, where you are going, and when you expect to be back.

This is the original cache type consisting, at a bare minimum, a container and a logbook. Normally you'll find a Tupperware container, ammo box, or bucket filled with goodies. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page is the exact location for the cache. The general rule of thumb is, "If you take an item, leave an item of equal or greater value, and write in the logbook." Some caches are themed, so make sure to read the description before going on a hunt.

===b. Multi-cache=== 


This is a cache where you may have to visit multiple locations close within 8 km of the listed coordinates. At each of these stages you will need to gather the information required and work out using instructions on the cache page the coordinates for the final. The container at the final will usually hold the log to record your visit and swaps and possibly a pen or pencil. Some multi caches are a simple 2 stage but some may have 10 or more stages increasing the skill level and of course enjoyment.

===c. Mystery=== 
Usually called an '''Unknown cache''' and is displayed on the map with a '''?'''. These can be puzzle caches where you may have to spend lots of time deciphering a code or puzzle before you go to find the container. The container usually is NOT at the listed coordinates. You can have lots of fun and frustration solving these. You can also message others who have found it or even the CO for some further hints. A useful web page to help solve these geocachingtoolbox.com. The final is usually withing 5 km of given location.

===d. Virtual=== 


This is not a physical cache, but rather a place of usually historical or local interest; that is, a commemorative plaque, sign, object, or building. Virtual caches are grandfathered on Geocaching.com. In 2020 a special release of more Virtual caches was given to a selection of CO in many countries. In most cases the finder has to provide some location explicit answer or upload a photo. This prevents armchair cachers logging these from their home without actually visiting the location. New virtual caches are now accepted only on [http://www.waymarking.com waymarking.com].

===e. Earthcache=== 
Earthcaches are of a scientific nature. Needing observations, some experiments, and opinions given. Before you can log these you actually need to visit the site get information, see things, think about things. Then you need to send the CO the required information and get permission to log as found.


There is a separate honour for this type of cacheing. Scientific Geocaching. The name from memory.

===f. Letterbox OR Whereigo=== 
;Letterbox hybrid caches: These are like traditional caches having a container with log book etc. But these also have a stamp and sometimes inkpad. When the finder finds these if they are a Letterbox finder they will have their own logging book to record their finds and their own personal stamp. They use the cache stamp to stamp their personal logbook and then stamp the cache logbook with their stamp and write the date found. This type of cache can be found by both Letterboxer and geocacher people. If the person is in both sports they log in the respective web site they are involved in.


The cache stamp must remain in the cache and is not counted as a swap. The cache must be available to both Geocachers and Letterboxers and not be just a cache with a stamp. Therefore should be listed in the various Letterboxing websites as well as geocaching sites. There is a separate honour called Letterboxing.


;Whereigo caches: You need to download to your device the app so you can play. Then download the cartridge for the particular Wherigio then go to the location open the files follow instructions to you get to the end and that is where the container is. You do need phone service coverage for the game to load properly and this can be problematic in some locations.


There are more types available. Webcam caches, Event caches, Lab caches and several more.

==6. What items may be left in a geocache? Which items may not?== 
Small swaps for children, little toys and other small objects. If the logbook getting full you can leave more paper. But put a note of this on your online log so the CO knows maintenance is needed.
Travel bugs and coins


Things not to leave. Food including lollies. These get soft and gooey and then leak making a sticky mess. Advertising promotional material. Anything that is not family friendly.

==7. What is meant by Cache In, Trash Out (CITO)?== 


An activity held sacred by Pathfinders everywhere, Trash Out simply means to take along a plastic trash bag while hunting Geocaches and picking up trash on the way.

==8. Demonstrate two ways of finding the location of a geocache in your area on a caching website or caching app.== 


Have the student look on the website, [http://www.geocaching.com www.geocaching.com]. This is a family-friendly, kid-friendly website. Two methods of finding a location are:
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then enter a zip code in the "By Postal Code" box.
* From the Main Page on the top drop-down menu, click on "Hide and Seek a Cache" then enter an address in the "Address" box.
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then choose a state in the "By State" box.

==9. Use the following features (or their equivalent) on a GPS receiver and website or caching app:== 

===a. Find by GC Code=== 

===b. Find by location=== 

===c. Filter locations (choose just those with a Difficulty rating of 3 or lower and Terrain of 3 or lower, for example)=== 

===d. Compass=== 

===e. Map Directions=== 

===f. Description=== 

===g. Previous logs=== 

===h. Hint=== 

==10. Find three geocaches in your area, at least one of which must be a regular (traditional) cache.== 

==11. Read and discuss Matthew 6:19-21 and Jeremiah 29:13, and determine their relevance to geocaching.== 


{{Bible verse
|book=Matthew
|chapter=6
|verse=19-21
|version=NKJV
|text=“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
}}


Sometimes geocaches succumb to the elements. The containers can get broken, or the cache could be found by someone who doesn't know what it is, and they throw it away or destroy it. Sometimes the log in the cache is too soaked to sign. When you find one of these, it would be good to think of this verse. We can depend on our treasure in heaven!


{{Bible verse
|book=Jeremiah
|chapter=29
|verse=13
|version=NKJV
|text=And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
}}


It is possible to visit some caches several times before finally finding it. Sometimes the cache owner can be exceedingly clever and hide a cache in plain sight. It is possible to look right at it and not recognize it for what it is, even though it is the one thing you are searching for! But persistence pays off. When you have trouble finding a cache, think about this verse, and take comfort in knowing that when you seek the Lord, you will always be repaid.

==12. Discuss safety concerns you should consider when geocaching. View the attributes of a nearby cache to identify caching hazards identified by cache owners.== 


Dangers include heights, falls, traffic, rough terrain, poisonous plants (like poison ivy or poison oak), snakes, spiders, wild animals, strangers, etc. Do not geocache alone or at night in a remote area. Wear sturdy shoes as for hiking and make sure to take plenty of water when hiking to a remote area or for any distance. Let someone know what you are doing, where you are going, and when you expect to be back.

{{division variant|division=General Conference}}


{{Honor Master|honor={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|3}}|master=Recreation}}

==1. Define Geocaching.== 


Geocaching is an entertaining outdoor adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the Internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

==2. Identify the technological tools necessary for geocaching.== 
* Geocache membership
* A GPS device or a mobile phone
* The geocaching app and access to the app
* Other non-technological tools you may take, including:
** Extra logbooks
** Pen/Pencils
** Torch/head torch
** Spare batteries
** Sunscreen
** Hat
** Rain poncho
** Water
** Multi-tool
** Swag
** Grabbing tool
** Retractable mirror

==3. Define or identify the following geocaching terms:== 

===a. Container=== 
The container is what contains the geocache. Your container should be waterproof to protect cache contents from rain, snow, ice, and condensation. If you place your cache in direct sunlight, choose a container that won’t degrade quickly from exposure. The lid and base should be made from the same material. If they are made from different materials, the seal will degrade faster.

===b. Log book=== 
In each cache at the final location the container has a log. consisting of paper, a little book, a scroll of paper where the cacher writes their trail name, caching name and date found. These would normally be inside a plastic bag within the container. Remember to replace it and seal the container well. Virtual, earthcaches, and several more types have no actual container.

===c. Cache Owner (CO)=== 
The person who creates the cache and submits it to the reviewers for publication. They have control of cachers online logs they can delete is needed. It is their responsibility to maintain their cache.

===d. Coordinates=== 
This is the GPS location of the cache, stages, listed location. Here is an example S46 22.325 E168 20.985 The S= South E=East N= North W- West. In other countries the coordinates could be N88 33.561 E168 20.665.
There are different datums used but the example is the most commonly used.

===e. Muggle=== 
This term is from Lord Of The Rings. Literally means someone who is not a cacher.

===f. Smilie/Find=== 
Once you have logged as found the cache on the online page the green box or ? etc. on the map changes to a smilie. A yellow circle with the smiling face meaning that you have found it. On your online profile your finds are collated. So beside your caching name will be a smilie with your total number of finds.

===g. Caching Name/geonic/username (Login)=== 
Most cachers do not use their own name for their user name. This is to keep you a little more private. So be creative and have your own that means something to you.

===h. Travel Bug/Travel Coin=== 
Travel bugs and coins can be purchased on ground speak and other merchant sites. Once you have receiver yours you can name it, set targets, attach items to it. They usually come in the form of Dog Tags. These have a code stamped on them. Once you have set them up online you release them and log them into a cache for other finders to either log as discovered or log as taken from a cache. Then these TB's travel to another cache. The person that now has it can log it a visiting a cache or leaving it in a cache. Then others can do similar. The CO gets notification when your TB has been shifted from a cache and where it gets left in a cache. The TB accumulates a travel distance.


Coins are similar. They are a specially designed coin with a number on it. They are treated like normal TBs.


Finders should log it out of a cache and log it into another faithfully. In this way they don't get lost and the CO knows where they are. It is fun to see where your TBs are around the world and learn of other cuntries. Google earth and street view are handy in this.

==4. Define and give examples of the different sizes of caches.== 

===a. Extra Small/Micro/Nano=== 

===b. Small=== 

===c. Medium/regular=== 

===d. Large=== 

===e. Other===

Some caches are themed, so make sure to read the description before going on a hunt.

===b. Multi-cache=== 


This is a cache where you may have to visit multiple locations close within 8 km of the listed coordinates. At each of these stages you will need to gather the information required and work out using instructions on the cache page the coordinates for the final. The container at the final will usually hold the log to record your visit and swaps and possibly a pen or pencil. Some multi caches are a simple 2 stage but some may have 10 or more stages increasing the skill level and of course enjoyment.

It is possible to look right at it and not recognize it for what it is, even though it is the one thing you are searching for! But persistence pays off. When you have trouble finding a cache, think about this verse, and take comfort in knowing that when you seek the Lord, you will always be repaid.

==12. Discuss safety concerns you should consider when geocaching. View the attributes of a nearby cache to identify caching hazards identified by cache owners.== 


Dangers include heights, falls, traffic, rough terrain, poisonous plants (like poison ivy or poison oak), snakes, spiders, wild animals, strangers, etc. Do not geocache alone or at night in a remote area. Wear sturdy shoes as for hiking and make sure to take plenty of water when hiking to a remote area or for any distance. Let someone know what you are doing, where you are going, and when you expect to be back.

{{Honor Master|honor={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|3}}|master=Recreation}}

==1. Define Geocaching.== 


Geocaching is an entertaining outdoor adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the Internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

==2. Identify the technological tools necessary for geocaching.== 
* Geocache membership
* A GPS device or a mobile phone
* The geocaching app and access to the app
* Other non-technological tools you may take, including:
** Extra logbooks
** Pen/Pencils
** Torch/head torch
** Spare batteries
** Sunscreen
** Hat
** Rain poncho
** Water
** Multi-tool
** Swag
** Grabbing tool
** Retractable mirror

==3. Define or identify the following geocaching terms:== 

===a. Container=== 
The container is what contains the geocache. Your container should be waterproof to protect cache contents from rain, snow, ice, and condensation. If you place your cache in direct sunlight, choose a container that won’t degrade quickly from exposure. The lid and base should be made from the same material. If they are made from different materials, the seal will degrade faster.

===b. Log book=== 
In each cache at the final location the container has a log. consisting of paper, a little book, a scroll of paper where the cacher writes their trail name, caching name and date found. These would normally be inside a plastic bag within the container. Remember to replace it and seal the container well. Virtual, earthcaches, and several more types have no actual container.

===c. Cache Owner (CO)=== 
The person who creates the cache and submits it to the reviewers for publication. They have control of cachers online logs they can delete is needed. It is their responsibility to maintain their cache.

===d. Coordinates=== 
This is the GPS location of the cache, stages, listed location. Here is an example S46 22.325 E168 20.985 The S= South E=East N= North W- West. In other countries the coordinates could be N88 33.561 E168 20.665.
There are different datums used but the example is the most commonly used.

===e. Muggle=== 
This term is from Lord Of The Rings. Literally means someone who is not a cacher.

===f. Smilie/Find=== 
Once you have logged as found the cache on the online page the green box or ? etc. on the map changes to a smilie. A yellow circle with the smiling face meaning that you have found it. On your online profile your finds are collated. So beside your caching name will be a smilie with your total number of finds.

===g. Caching Name/geonic/username (Login)=== 
Most cachers do not use their own name for their user name. This is to keep you a little more private. So be creative and have your own that means something to you.

===h. Travel Bug/Travel Coin=== 
Travel bugs and coins can be purchased on ground speak and other merchant sites. Once you have receiver yours you can name it, set targets, attach items to it. They usually come in the form of Dog Tags. These have a code stamped on them. Once you have set them up online you release them and log them into a cache for other finders to either log as discovered or log as taken from a cache. Then these TB's travel to another cache. The person that now has it can log it a visiting a cache or leaving it in a cache. Then others can do similar. The CO gets notification when your TB has been shifted from a cache and where it gets left in a cache. The TB accumulates a travel distance.


Coins are similar. They are a specially designed coin with a number on it. They are treated like normal TBs.


Finders should log it out of a cache and log it into another faithfully. In this way they don't get lost and the CO knows where they are. It is fun to see where your TBs are around the world and learn of other cuntries. Google earth and street view are handy in this.

==4. Define and give examples of the different sizes of caches.== 

===a. Extra Small/Micro/Nano=== 

===b. Small=== 

===c. Medium/regular=== 

===d. Large=== 

===e. Other=== 

==5. Define and identify on a caching map the following types of geocaches:== 

===a. Traditional=== 


This is the original cache type consisting, at a bare minimum, a container and a logbook. Normally you'll find a Tupperware container, ammo box, or bucket filled with goodies. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page is the exact location for the cache. The general rule of thumb is, "If you take an item, leave an item of equal or greater value, and write in the logbook." Some caches are themed, so make sure to read the description before going on a hunt.

===b. Multi-cache=== 


This is a cache where you may have to visit multiple locations close within 8 km of the listed coordinates. At each of these stages you will need to gather the information required and work out using instructions on the cache page the coordinates for the final. The container at the final will usually hold the log to record your visit and swaps and possibly a pen or pencil. Some multi caches are a simple 2 stage but some may have 10 or more stages increasing the skill level and of course enjoyment.

===c. Mystery=== 
Usually called an '''Unknown cache''' and is displayed on the map with a '''?'''. These can be puzzle caches where you may have to spend lots of time deciphering a code or puzzle before you go to find the container. The container usually is NOT at the listed coordinates. You can have lots of fun and frustration solving these. You can also message others who have found it or even the CO for some further hints. A useful web page to help solve these geocachingtoolbox.com. The final is usually withing 5 km of given location.

===d. Virtual=== 


This is not a physical cache, but rather a place of usually historical or local interest; that is, a commemorative plaque, sign, object, or building. Virtual caches are grandfathered on Geocaching.com. In 2020 a special release of more Virtual caches was given to a selection of CO in many countries. In most cases the finder has to provide some location explicit answer or upload a photo. This prevents armchair cachers logging these from their home without actually visiting the location. New virtual caches are now accepted only on [http://www.waymarking.com waymarking.com].

===e. Earthcache=== 
Earthcaches are of a scientific nature. Needing observations, some experiments, and opinions given. Before you can log these you actually need to visit the site get information, see things, think about things. Then you need to send the CO the required information and get permission to log as found.


There is a separate honour for this type of cacheing. Scientific Geocaching. The name from memory.

===f. Letterbox OR Whereigo=== 
Letterbox hybrid caches are like traditional caches having a container with log book etc. But these also have a stamp and sometimes inkpad. When the finder finds these if they are a Letterbox finder they will have their own logging book to record their finds and their own personal stamp. They use the cache stamp to stamp their personal logbook and then stamp the cache logbook with their stamp and write the date found. This type of cache can be found by both Letterboxer and geocacher people. If the person is in both sports they log in the respective web site they are involved in.


The cache stamp must remain in the cache and is not counted as a swap. The cache must be available to both Geocachers and Letterboxers and not be just a cache with a stamp. Therefore should be listed in the various Letterboxing websites as well as geocaching sites.
There is a separate Honour called Letterboxing.


Whereigo caches. You need to download to your device the app so you can play. Then download the cartridge for the particular Wherigio then go to the location open the files follow instructions to you get to the end and that is where the container is. You do need phone service coverage for the game to load properly and this can be problematic in some locations.

==6. What items may be left in a geocache? Which items may not?== 

==7. What is meant by Cache In, Trash Out (CITO)?== 


An activity held sacred by Pathfinders everywhere, Trash Out simply means to take along a plastic trash bag while hunting Geocaches and picking up trash on the way.

==8. Demonstrate two ways of finding the location of a geocache in your area on a caching website or caching app.== 


Have the student look on the website, [http://www.geocaching.com www.geocaching.com]. This is a family-friendly, kid-friendly website. Two methods of finding a location are:
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then enter a zip code in the "By Postal Code" box.
* From the Main Page on the top drop-down menu, click on "Hide and Seek a Cache" then enter an address in the "Address" box.
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then choose a state in the "By State" box.

==9. Use the following features (or their equivalent) on a GPS receiver and website or caching app:== 

===a. Find by GC Code=== 

===b. Find by location=== 

===c. Filter locations (choose just those with a Difficulty rating of 3 or lower and Terrain of 3 or lower, for example)=== 

===d. Compass=== 

===e. Map Directions=== 

===f. Description=== 

===g. Previous logs=== 

===h. Hint=== 

==10. Find three geocaches in your area, at least one of which must be a regular (traditional) cache.== 

==11. Read and discuss Matthew 6:19-21 and Jeremiah 29:13, and determine their relevance to geocaching.== 


{{Bible verse
|book=Matthew
|chapter=6
|verse=19-21
|version=NKJV
|text=“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
}}


Sometimes geocaches succumb to the elements. The containers can get broken, or the cache could be found by someone who doesn't know what it is, and they throw it away or destroy it. Sometimes the log in the cache is too soaked to sign. When you find one of these, it would be good to think of this verse. We can depend on our treasure in heaven!


{{Bible verse
|book=Jeremiah
|chapter=29
|verse=13
|version=NKJV
|text=And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
}}


It is possible to visit some caches several times before finally finding it. Sometimes the cache owner can be exceedingly clever and hide a cache in plain sight. It is possible to look right at it and not recognize it for what it is, even though it is the one thing you are searching for! But persistence pays off. When you have trouble finding a cache, think about this verse, and take comfort in knowing that when you seek the Lord, you will always be repaid.

==12. Discuss safety concerns you should consider when geocaching. View the attributes of a nearby cache to identify caching hazards identified by cache owners.== 


Dangers include heights, falls, traffic, rough terrain, poisonous plants (like poison ivy or poison oak), snakes, spiders, wild animals, strangers, etc. Do not geocache alone or at night in a remote area. Wear sturdy shoes as for hiking and make sure to take plenty of water when hiking to a remote area or for any distance. Let someone know what you are doing, where you are going, and when you expect to be back.

In most cases the finder has to provide some location explicit answer or upload a photo. This prevents armchair cachers logging these from their home without actually visiting the location.

===e. Earthcache=== 

===f. Letterbox OR Whereigo=== 

==6. What items may be left in a geocache? Which items may not?== 

==7. What is meant by Cache In, Trash Out (CITO)?== 


An activity held sacred by Pathfinders everywhere, Trash Out simply means to take along a plastic trash bag while hunting Geocaches and picking up trash on the way.

==8. Demonstrate two ways of finding the location of a geocache in your area on a caching website or caching app.== 


Have the student look on the website, [http://www.geocaching.com www.geocaching.com]. This is a family-friendly, kid-friendly website. Two methods of finding a location are:
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then enter a zip code in the "By Postal Code" box.
* From the Main Page on the top drop-down menu, click on "Hide and Seek a Cache" then enter an address in the "Address" box.
* From the Main Page at the top drop-down menu, click on "HIDE & SEEK A CACHE". Then choose a state in the "By State" box.

==9. Use the following features (or their equivalent) on a GPS receiver and website or caching app:== 

===a. Find by GC Code=== 

===b. Find by location=== 

===c. Filter locations (choose just those with a Difficulty rating of 3 or lower and Terrain of 3 or lower, for example)=== 

===d. Compass=== 

===e. Map Directions=== 

===f. Description=== 

===g. Previous logs=== 

===h. Hint=== 

==10. Find three geocaches in your area, at least one of which must be a regular (traditional) cache.== 

==11. Read and discuss Matthew 6:19-21 and Jeremiah 29:13, and determine their relevance to geocaching.== 


{{Bible verse
|book=Matthew
|chapter=6
|verse=19-21
|version=NKJV
|text=“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
}}


Sometimes geocaches succumb to the elements. The containers can get broken, or the cache could be found by someone who doesn't know what it is, and they throw it away or destroy it. Sometimes the log in the cache is too soaked to sign. When you find one of these, it would be good to think of this verse. We can depend on our treasure in heaven!


{{Bible verse
|book=Jeremiah
|chapter=29
|verse=13
|version=NKJV
|text=And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
}}


It is possible to visit some caches several times before finally finding it. Sometimes the cache owner can be exceedingly clever and hide a cache in plain sight. It is possible to look right at it and not recognize it for what it is, even though it is the one thing you are searching for! But persistence pays off. When you have trouble finding a cache, think about this verse, and take comfort in knowing that when you seek the Lord, you will always be repaid.

==12. Discuss safety concerns you should consider when geocaching. View the attributes of a nearby cache to identify caching hazards identified by cache owners.== 


Dangers include heights, falls, traffic, rough terrain, poisonous plants (like poison ivy or poison oak), snakes, spiders, wild animals, strangers, etc. Do not geocache alone or at night in a remote area. Wear sturdy shoes as for hiking and make sure to take plenty of water when hiking to a remote area or for any distance. Let someone know what you are doing, where you are going, and when you expect to be back.

{{division variant|division=General Conference}}


{{Honor Master|honor={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|3}}|master=Recreation}}

==1. Define Geocaching.== 


Geocaching is an entertaining outdoor adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the Internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

==2. Identify the technological tools necessary for geocaching.== 
* Geocache membership
* A GPS device or a mobile phone
* The geocaching app and access to the app
* Other non-technological tools you may take, including:
** Extra logbooks
** Pen/Pencils
** Torch/head torch
** Spare batteries
** Sunscreen
** Hat
** Rain poncho
** Water
** Multi-tool
** Swag
** Grabbing tool
** Retractable mirror

==3. Define or identify the following geocaching terms:== 

===a. Container=== 
The container is what contains the geocache. Your container should be waterproof to protect cache contents from rain, snow, ice, and condensation. If you place your cache in direct sunlight, choose a container that won’t degrade quickly from exposure. The lid and base should be made from the same material. If they are made from different materials, the seal will degrade faster.

===b. Log book=== 
In each cache at the final location the container has a log. consisting of paper, a little book, a scroll of paper where the cacher writes their trail name, caching name and date found. These would normally be inside a plastic bag within the container. Remember to replace it and seal the container well. Virtual, earthcaches, and several more types have no actual container.

===c. Cache Owner (CO)=== 
The person who creates the cache and submits it to the reviewers for publication. They have control of cachers online logs they can delete is needed. It is their responsibility to maintain their cache.

===d. Coordinates=== 
This is the GPS location of the cache, stages, listed location. Here is an example S46 22.325 E168 20.985 The S= South E=East N= North W- West. In other countries the coordinates could be N88 33.561 E168 20.665.
There are different datums used but the example is the most commonly used.

===e. Muggle=== 
This term is from Lord Of The Rings. Literally means someone who is not a cacher.

===f. Smilie/Find=== 
Once you have logged as found the cache on the online page the green box or ? etc. on the map changes to a smilie. A yellow circle with the smiling face meaning that you have found it. On your online profile your finds are collated. So beside your caching name will be a smilie with your total number of finds.

===g. Caching Name/geonic/username (Login)=== 
Most cachers do not use their own name for their user name. This is to keep you a little more private. So be creative and have your own that means something to you.

===h. Travel Bug/Travel Coin=== 

==4. Define and give examples of the different sizes of caches.== 

===a. Extra Small/Micro/Nano=== 

===b. Small=== 

===c. Medium/regular=== 

===d. Large=== 

===e. Other=== 

==5. Define and identify on a caching map the following types of geocaches:== 

===a. Traditional=== 


This is the original cache type consisting, at a bare minimum, a container and a logbook. Normally you'll find a Tupperware container, ammo box, or bucket filled with goodies. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page is the exact location for the cache. The general rule of thumb is, "If you take an item, leave an item of equal or greater value, and write in the logbook." Some caches are themed, so make sure to read the description before going on a hunt.

===b. Multi-cache=== 


This is a cache where you may have to visit multiple locations close within 8 km of the listed coordinates. At each of these stages you will need to gather the information required and work out using instructions on the cache page the coordinates for the final. The container at the final will usually hold the log to record your visit and swaps and possibly a pen or pencil. Some multi caches are a simple 2 stage but some may have 10 or more stages increasing the skill level and of course enjoyment.

===c. Mystery=== 
Usually called an '''Unknown cache''' and is displayed on the map with a '''?'''. These can be puzzle caches where you may have to spend lots of time deciphering a code or puzzle before you go to find the container. The container usually is NOT at the listed coordinates. You can have lots of fun and frustration solving these. You can also message others who have found it or even the CO for some further hints. A useful web page to help solve these geocachingtoolbox.com. The final is usually withing 5 km of given location.

===d. Virtual=== 


This is not a physical cache, but rather a place of usually historical or local interest; that is, a commemorative plaque, sign, object, or building. Virtual caches are grandfathered on Geocaching.com. In 2020 a special release of more Virtual caches was given to a selection of CO in many countries.

==11. Read and discuss Matthew 6:19-21 and Jeremiah 29:13, and determine their relevance to geocaching.== 


{{Bible verse
|book=Matthew
|chapter=6
|verse=19-21
|version=NKJV
|text=“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
}}


Sometimes geocaches succumb to the elements. The containers can get broken, or the cache could be found by someone who doesn't know what it is, and they throw it away or destroy it. Sometimes the log in the cache is too soaked to sign. When you find one of these, it would be good to think of this verse. We can depend on our treasure in heaven!


{{Bible verse
|book=Jeremiah
|chapter=29
|verse=13
|version=NKJV
|text=And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
}}


It is possible to visit some caches several times before finally finding it. Sometimes the cache owner can be exceedingly clever and hide a cache in plain sight. It is possible to look right at it and not recognize it for what it is, even though it is the one thing you are searching for! But persistence pays off. When you have trouble finding a cache, think about this verse, and take comfort in knowing that when you seek the Lord, you will always be repaid.

==12. Discuss safety concerns you should consider when geocaching. View the attributes of a nearby cache to identify caching hazards identified by cache owners.== 


Dangers include heights, falls, traffic, rough terrain, poisonous plants (like poison ivy or poison oak), snakes, spiders, wild animals, strangers, etc. Do not geocache alone or at night in a remote area. Wear sturdy shoes as for hiking and make sure to take plenty of water when hiking to a remote area or for any distance. Let someone know what you are doing, where you are going, and when you expect to be back.

{{Honor Master|honor={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|3}}|master=Technician}}

==1. Have the Red Alert Honor== 
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Health and Science|honor=Red Alert}}

==2. Tour a fire station or listen to a firefighter give a talk to your club or school.== 
Find a nearby fire station (which can be in the community, at an airport, or a Park/Forestry Service station) and arrange to have your group tour their facility or have someone come and speak to your group about what they do, how they do it, and maybe a story about an incident that could have been prevented. If you expect a fireman to teach any of the requirements for this honor, let them know ahead of time and give them the requirements.

==3. Organize and conduct a fire drill at a school, church, or other public building. Develop an exit map for one of the buildings. What information should be put on the Exit map?== 
===Fire Drill===
Work with your principal or superintendent on this requirement. They are often
in charge of these activities and should already have a proper procedure. Ask to help them with one of the drills, explaining why. After the fire drill it would be a good idea to have them explain why they use the procedure that they used. Make maps for exit routes and post them throughout the school, if they are not already there. If they are already in place review them and have the principal or superintendent explain how they work.

===What information should be put on the Exit map?=== 
* Show primary route/routes using colored lines.
* Show secondary route/routes using a different color for the lines.
* Show locations of fire alarm pull stations.
* Show locations of fire extinguishers.
* Make a map of each floor and label it for that floor.

==4. Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors== 
===a. What is a smoke detector and how does it work?===
A smoke detector is a device that detects smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Smoke detectors are typically housed in a disk-shaped plastic enclosure about 6 inches in diameter by 1 inch high. Most smoke detectors work either by optical detection (photoelectric) or by physical process (ionization), while others use both detection methods to increase sensitivity to smoke. Smoke detectors are powered either by electricity, battery or both. Some smoke detectors come with a light so that when the alarm goes off the light comes on and gives some light in the area of the detector.

===b. Where should smoke detectors be placed in the home?=== 
Smoke detectors should be placed on every floor, preferably in hallways or stairways and inside each bedroom. This includes attics and garages. It would be a benefit if detectors were placed in every room with the exception of the bathroom (steam from a shower can cause the smoke alarm to go off) or kitchen (use a dectector that senses heat).

===c. What is a Carbon Monoxide detector and how does it work?=== 
A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. CO detectors are designed to measure CO levels over time and sound an alarm before dangerous levels of CO accumulate in an environment, giving people adequate warning to safely ventilate the area or evacuate. Some system-connected detectors also alert a monitoring service that can dispatch emergency services if necessary.


There are three types of carbon monoxide detectors that can be used, Metal Oxide, Biomimetic and Electrochemical. The Biomimetic detector can be powered by a battery and is most common one in use for the home. This is a gas alarm and is activated when carbon monoxide clings to a gel which causes the gel to darken in color and activate the alarm.

===d. Where should Carbon Monoxide detectors be placed in the home?=== 
Proper placement of a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is important. If you are installing only one carbon monoxide detector, it is recommended that it be located near the sleeping area, where it can wake you if you are asleep. Additional detectors on every level and in every bedroom of a home provides extra protection against carbon monoxide poisoning.


Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms.

==5. Fire Extinguishers - Complete all of the following.== 
===a. Know and understand the different classes of fires and the types of extinguishers needed to put them out.===
There are 5 different classes of fire. They are A, B, C, D, and K.
;In some other countries there are different fire class codes. So check them out for your country.
In New Zealand we have 6 classes. A: Solids, wood paper B: Flammable liquids C: Flammable Gasses D: Flammable metals E: Electrical components F: Cooking oils and fats

;Class A: Class A fires are fires with fuels that are normal combustibles. These include wood, clothing, etc. They can be extinguished many different ways. Common extinguishing methods include water. Extinguishers that can be used to extinguish Class A fires are A and ABC extinguishers.


;Class B: Class B fires are fires that involve fuels including oil, gas, kerosene, etc. These fires require more effort and much different methods to put them out. Common extinguishing methods are B and ABC extinguishers. However, if not available, any soil not soaked in the above liquids will do.


;Class C: Class C fires are fires that involve electricity. It can have any fuel. It is best to put this fire out by first shutting off the source of electricity. This turns the fire into either a Class A, B, or K fire, which can then be put out as prescribed for each class.


:If the power cannot be turned off for some reason. Use B, C, or ABC extinguishers. DO NOT USE WATER! YOU WILL BE ELECTROCUTED! After extinguishing the fire, you still have the issue of dangerous electrical current to deal with, along with the possibility of the fire reigniting. Call proper authorities immediately if the problem cannot be solved.


;Class D: Class D fires are combustible metals. These burn because of chemical interaction. An example of this would be sodium and water. Sodium reacts violently when water is introduced. Class D extinguishers vary for each combustible metal. If you have a combustible metal in a work environment, OSHA (in the United States) requires that you have the proper extinguishing agent on hand to deal with any combustion. Never use water to extinguish Class D fires. There are safer methods of extinguishing, such as Class D extinguishers.


;Class K: Class K fires are a newer classification used specifically for cooking oils. Water should not be used to extinguish Class K fires. Oil floats on top of water and the reacts violently with the cold water, splashing everywhere, thus spreading the fire beyond the original confines of a pot or pan. Class K extinguishers are available. However, often an extinguishing system is used instead of an extinguisher for Class K fires.


;Fire Blanket: There should be one of these in every commercial kitchen. For controlling cooking oil and fats on fire. Also for wrapping a person on fire after they have Stopped Dropped Rolled.


;Fire Hose: Some buildings have fire hoses for use on sold materials. Be aware to keep away spray from live electrics.

===b. With a qualified instructor, know how to use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire.=== 

The instructor should be certified or at least work in an area that utilizes
fire extinguishers often (such as an inspector or firefighter). The fire
should be no bigger than one (1) cubic foot in size and should be in a safe
area (like an empty parking lot). The acronym used for teaching the use of a
fire extinguisher is PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
Other countries may have their own acronyms for this. In New Zealand we use PTASS. Much the same as below with the added T= Test. Before you approach fire do a short test squeeze to ensure your extinguisher actually works.


* Pull the pin (sometimes a safety tab to keep the pin from falling out must be broken first).
* Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
* Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher to start spraying the extinguishing agent.
* Sweep the nozzle at the base of the fire until certain the fire is out.

===c. Know when to quit attempting to put out a fire and evacuate. Discuss the reasons why keeping a clear exit is important.=== 
If the fire is not extinguished when the first extinguisher is used up, do not retrieve another extinguisher and try again. Evacuate yourself and any remaining individuals from the building. You should have already pulled a fire alarm (if there is one) the moment you were sure there was a fire.


You should always be facing the fire on your approach and retreat. This is so you can prepare for any sudden flare-ups. Also be aware that your extinguisher will only last about 60 seconds. If your you cannot get to within 2 or 3 metres of the fire base it is too big your you to attempt to put out. So this is why all doorways and stairs should be free of items that could trip you. Also consider that the room you are entering will have smoke covering the ceiling making any lighting ineffective. This layer of smoke will gradually become thicker and closer to the floor as the fire burns.


An escape route for yourself is extremely important to keep in mind when attempting to fight or extinguish a fire. If you become trapped while trying to be heroic, you have not helped emergency personnel. Instead, you have added to the things they must do. Now they have to find and try to save you as well as fight the fire.

===d. Properly inspect a minimum of five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building. Report your findings to your instructor or group.=== 
Have an inspector show you what to look for when inspecting a fire extinguisher. Then, either with the inspector or with another responsible adult, go around the building and check at least five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building.

==6. Know what to look for during a fire safety inspection. Perform a fire safety inspection of your house and present your findings to your parents. Then perform a fire safety inspection of one of the following and present your findings to the leaders of the institution. Be prepared to give suggestions and answer questions that arise. a. Your church b. Your school c. Other public building== 
Have a person who does inspections explain how you should inspect your home and an industrial building. Ask them for things that they check or maybe even a copy of the list that they use. Then either follow them on their inspection or with another adult inspect your church or school. You can be trusted to inspect your own house, though a parent and an inspector might help if you ask. When finished with your inspections let your parents and the leaders of your church or school know what you found. If you have suggestions, now is the time to give them. Also be prepared to explain any issues and or questions that come up during your report.

==7. What guidelines and precautions must you take before starting a camp or trash fire?== 
*Obtain the proper fire permits as required in your area.
*Clear a ten (10) foot area around the entire fire ground. Nothing should be in that ten-foot area. No trash, no leaves, no branches, and no contaminated earth. Let nothing that can burn be left in this area.
*Have enough extinguishing agent (water, dirt) nearby to completely extinguish the fire at its largest volume. Stir the coals to smother the fire on all sides.
*Do not use gasoline or other flammable liquid to start the fire.
*Do not allow children or adults to play with the fire once it is started.

==8. Serve your community in regards to fire safety by doing one of the following:==
===a. Provide smoke detector battery replacements for your neighborhood or community.===
===b. Assist an elderly neighbor in making their residence fire safe.===
===c. Participate in a fire safety awareness campaign in your neighborhood or community.===

==9. Discuss how the following Bible verses apply to fire safety, both temporally and spiritually.==
===a. Isaiah 43:2===
{{Bible verse
|book = Isaiah
|chapter = 43
|verse = 2
|version = NKJV
|text =
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
}}

===b. James 3:5, 6=== 
{{Bible verse
|book = James
|chapter=3
|verse=5, 6
|version = NKJV
|text=
Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.


See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

==3. Organize and conduct a fire drill at a school, church, or other public building. Develop an exit map for one of the buildings. What information should be put on the Exit map?== 
===Fire Drill===
Work with your principal or superintendent on this requirement. They are often
in charge of these activities and should already have a proper procedure. Ask to help them with one of the drills, explaining why. After the fire drill it would be a good idea to have them explain why they use the procedure that they used. Make maps for exit routes and post them throughout the school, if they are not already there. If they are already in place review them and have the principal or superintendent explain how they work.

===What information should be put on the Exit map?=== 
* Show primary route/routes using colored lines.
* Show secondary route/routes using a different color for the lines.
* Show locations of fire alarm pull stations.
* Show locations of fire extinguishers.
* Make a map of each floor and label it for that floor.

==4. Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors== 
===a. What is a smoke detector and how does it work?===
A smoke detector is a device that detects smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Smoke detectors are typically housed in a disk-shaped plastic enclosure about 6 inches in diameter by 1 inch high. Most smoke detectors work either by optical detection (photoelectric) or by physical process (ionization), while others use both detection methods to increase sensitivity to smoke. Smoke detectors are powered either by electricity, battery or both. Some smoke detectors come with a light so that when the alarm goes off the light comes on and gives some light in the area of the detector.

===b. Where should smoke detectors be placed in the home?=== 
Smoke detectors should be placed on every floor, preferably in hallways or stairways and inside each bedroom. This includes attics and garages. It would be a benefit if detectors were placed in every room with the exception of the bathroom (steam from a shower can cause the smoke alarm to go off) or kitchen (use a dectector that senses heat).

===c. What is a Carbon Monoxide detector and how does it work?=== 
A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. CO detectors are designed to measure CO levels over time and sound an alarm before dangerous levels of CO accumulate in an environment, giving people adequate warning to safely ventilate the area or evacuate. Some system-connected detectors also alert a monitoring service that can dispatch emergency services if necessary.


There are three types of carbon monoxide detectors that can be used, Metal Oxide, Biomimetic and Electrochemical. The Biomimetic detector can be powered by a battery and is most common one in use for the home. This is a gas alarm and is activated when carbon monoxide clings to a gel which causes the gel to darken in color and activate the alarm.

===d. Where should Carbon Monoxide detectors be placed in the home?=== 
Proper placement of a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is important. If you are installing only one carbon monoxide detector, it is recommended that it be located near the sleeping area, where it can wake you if you are asleep. Additional detectors on every level and in every bedroom of a home provides extra protection against carbon monoxide poisoning.


Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms.

==5. Fire Extinguishers - Complete all of the following.== 
===a. Know and understand the different classes of fires and the types of extinguishers needed to put them out.===
There are 5 different classes of fire. They are A, B, C, D, and K.
;In some other countries there are different fire class codes. So check them out for your country.
In New Zealand we have 6 classes. A: Solids, wood paper B: Flammable liquids C: Flammable Gasses D: Flammable metals E: Electrical components F: Cooking oils and fats

;Class A: Class A fires are fires with fuels that are normal combustibles. These include wood, clothing, etc. They can be extinguished many different ways. Common extinguishing methods include water. Extinguishers that can be used to extinguish Class A fires are A and ABC extinguishers.


;Class B: Class B fires are fires that involve fuels including oil, gas, kerosene, etc. These fires require more effort and much different methods to put them out. Common extinguishing methods are B and ABC extinguishers. However, if not available, any soil not soaked in the above liquids will do.


;Class C: Class C fires are fires that involve electricity. It can have any fuel. It is best to put this fire out by first shutting off the source of electricity. This turns the fire into either a Class A, B, or K fire, which can then be put out as prescribed for each class.


:If the power cannot be turned off for some reason. Use B, C, or ABC extinguishers. DO NOT USE WATER! YOU WILL BE ELECTROCUTED! After extinguishing the fire, you still have the issue of dangerous electrical current to deal with, along with the possibility of the fire reigniting. Call proper authorities immediately if the problem cannot be solved.


;Class D: Class D fires are combustible metals. These burn because of chemical interaction. An example of this would be sodium and water. Sodium reacts violently when water is introduced. Class D extinguishers vary for each combustible metal. If you have a combustible metal in a work environment, OSHA (in the United States) requires that you have the proper extinguishing agent on hand to deal with any combustion. Never use water to extinguish Class D fires. There are safer methods of extinguishing, such as Class D extinguishers.


;Class K: Class K fires are a newer classification used specifically for cooking oils. Water should not be used to extinguish Class K fires. Oil floats on top of water and the reacts violently with the cold water, splashing everywhere, thus spreading the fire beyond the original confines of a pot or pan. Class K extinguishers are available. However, often an extinguishing system is used instead of an extinguisher for Class K fires.


;Fire Blanket. There should be one of these in every commercial kitchen. For controlling cooking oil and fats on fire. Also for wrapping a person on fire after they have Stopped Dropped Rolled.

===b. With a qualified instructor, know how to use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire.=== 

The instructor should be certified or at least work in an area that utilizes
fire extinguishers often (such as an inspector or firefighter). The fire
should be no bigger than one (1) cubic foot in size and should be in a safe
area (like an empty parking lot). The acronym used for teaching the use of a
fire extinguisher is PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
Other countries may have their own acronyms for this. In New Zealand we use PTASS. Much the same as below with the added T= Test. Before you approach fire do a short test squeeze to ensure your extinguisher actually works.


* Pull the pin (sometimes a safety tab to keep the pin from falling out must be broken first).
* Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
* Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher to start spraying the extinguishing agent.
* Sweep the nozzle at the base of the fire until certain the fire is out.

===c. Know when to quit attempting to put out a fire and evacuate. Discuss the reasons why keeping a clear exit is important.=== 
If the fire is not extinguished when the first extinguisher is used up, do not retrieve another extinguisher and try again. Evacuate yourself and any remaining individuals from the building. You should have already pulled a fire alarm (if there is one) the moment you were sure there was a fire.


An escape route for yourself is extremely important to keep in mind when attempting to fight or extinguish a fire. If you become trapped while trying to be heroic, you have not helped emergency personnel. Instead, you have added to the things they must do. Now they have to find and try to save you as well as fight the fire.

===d. Properly inspect a minimum of five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building. Report your findings to your instructor or group.=== 
Have an inspector show you what to look for when inspecting a fire extinguisher. Then, either with the inspector or with another responsible adult, go around the building and check at least five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building.

==6. Know what to look for during a fire safety inspection. Perform a fire safety inspection of your house and present your findings to your parents. Then perform a fire safety inspection of one of the following and present your findings to the leaders of the institution. Be prepared to give suggestions and answer questions that arise. a. Your church b. Your school c. Other public building== 
Have a person who does inspections explain how you should inspect your home and an industrial building. Ask them for things that they check or maybe even a copy of the list that they use. Then either follow them on their inspection or with another adult inspect your church or school. You can be trusted to inspect your own house, though a parent and an inspector might help if you ask. When finished with your inspections let your parents and the leaders of your church or school know what you found. If you have suggestions, now is the time to give them. Also be prepared to explain any issues and or questions that come up during your report.

==7. What guidelines and precautions must you take before starting a camp or trash fire?== 
*Obtain the proper fire permits as required in your area.
*Clear a ten (10) foot area around the entire fire ground. Nothing should be in that ten-foot area. No trash, no leaves, no branches, and no contaminated earth. Let nothing that can burn be left in this area.
*Have enough extinguishing agent (water, dirt) nearby to completely extinguish the fire at its largest volume. Stir the coals to smother the fire on all sides.
*Do not use gasoline or other flammable liquid to start the fire.
*Do not allow children or adults to play with the fire once it is started.

==8. Serve your community in regards to fire safety by doing one of the following:==
===a. Provide smoke detector battery replacements for your neighborhood or community.===
===b. Assist an elderly neighbor in making their residence fire safe.===
===c. Participate in a fire safety awareness campaign in your neighborhood or community.===

==9. Discuss how the following Bible verses apply to fire safety, both temporally and spiritually.==
===a. Isaiah 43:2===
{{Bible verse
|book = Isaiah
|chapter = 43
|verse = 2
|version = NKJV
|text =
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
}}

===b. James 3:5, 6=== 
{{Bible verse
|book = James
|chapter=3
|verse=5, 6
|version = NKJV
|text=
Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.


See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

Your church b. Your school c. Other public building== 
Have a person who does inspections explain how you should inspect your home and an industrial building. Ask them for things that they check or maybe even a copy of the list that they use. Then either follow them on their inspection or with another adult inspect your church or school. You can be trusted to inspect your own house, though a parent and an inspector might help if you ask. When finished with your inspections let your parents and the leaders of your church or school know what you found. If you have suggestions, now is the time to give them.

{{Honor Master|honor={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|3}}|master=Technician}}

==1. Have the Red Alert Honor== 
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Health and Science|honor=Red Alert}}

==2. Tour a fire station or listen to a firefighter give a talk to your club or school.== 
Find a nearby fire station (which can be in the community, at an airport, or a Park/Forestry Service station) and arrange to have your group tour their facility or have someone come and speak to your group about what they do, how they do it, and maybe a story about an incident that could have been prevented. If you expect a fireman to teach any of the requirements for this honor, let them know ahead of time and give them the requirements.

==3. Organize and conduct a fire drill at a school, church, or other public building. Develop an exit map for one of the buildings. What information should be put on the Exit map?== 
===Fire Drill===
Work with your principal or superintendent on this requirement. They are often
in charge of these activities and should already have a proper procedure. Ask to help them with one of the drills, explaining why. After the fire drill it would be a good idea to have them explain why they use the procedure that they used. Make maps for exit routes and post them throughout the school, if they are not already there. If they are already in place review them and have the principal or superintendent explain how they work.

===What information should be put on the Exit map?=== 
* Show primary route/routes using colored lines.
* Show secondary route/routes using a different color for the lines.
* Show locations of fire alarm pull stations.
* Show locations of fire extinguishers.
* Make a map of each floor and label it for that floor.

==4. Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors== 
===a. What is a smoke detector and how does it work?===
A smoke detector is a device that detects smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Smoke detectors are typically housed in a disk-shaped plastic enclosure about 6 inches in diameter by 1 inch high. Most smoke detectors work either by optical detection (photoelectric) or by physical process (ionization), while others use both detection methods to increase sensitivity to smoke. Smoke detectors are powered either by electricity, battery or both. Some smoke detectors come with a light so that when the alarm goes off the light comes on and gives some light in the area of the detector.

===b. Where should smoke detectors be placed in the home?=== 
Smoke detectors should be placed on every floor, preferably in hallways or stairways and inside each bedroom. This includes attics and garages. It would be a benefit if detectors were placed in every room with the exception of the bathroom (steam from a shower can cause the smoke alarm to go off) or kitchen (use a dectector that senses heat).

===c. What is a Carbon Monoxide detector and how does it work?=== 
A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. CO detectors are designed to measure CO levels over time and sound an alarm before dangerous levels of CO accumulate in an environment, giving people adequate warning to safely ventilate the area or evacuate. Some system-connected detectors also alert a monitoring service that can dispatch emergency services if necessary.


There are three types of carbon monoxide detectors that can be used, Metal Oxide, Biomimetic and Electrochemical. The Biomimetic detector can be powered by a battery and is most common one in use for the home. This is a gas alarm and is activated when carbon monoxide clings to a gel which causes the gel to darken in color and activate the alarm.

===d. Where should Carbon Monoxide detectors be placed in the home?=== 
Proper placement of a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is important. If you are installing only one carbon monoxide detector, it is recommended that it be located near the sleeping area, where it can wake you if you are asleep. Additional detectors on every level and in every bedroom of a home provides extra protection against carbon monoxide poisoning.


Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms.

==5. Fire Extinguishers - Complete all of the following.== 
===a. Know and understand the different classes of fires and the types of extinguishers needed to put them out.===
There are 5 different classes of fire. They are A, B, C, D, and K. In some other countries there are different fire class codes. So check them out for your country.
In New Zealand we have 6 classes. A: Solids, wood paper B: Flammable liquids C: Flammable Gasses D: Flammable metals E: Electrical components F: Cooking oils and fats
;Class A: Class A fires are fires with fuels that are normal combustibles. These include wood, clothing, etc. They can be extinguished many different ways. Common extinguishing methods include water. Extinguishers that can be used to extinguish Class A fires are A and ABC extinguishers.


;Class B: Class B fires are fires that involve fuels including oil, gas, kerosene, etc. These fires require more effort and much different methods to put them out. Common extinguishing methods are B and ABC extinguishers. However, if not available, any soil not soaked in the above liquids will do.


;Class C: Class C fires are fires that involve electricity. It can have any fuel. It is best to put this fire out by first shutting off the source of electricity. This turns the fire into either a Class A, B, or K fire, which can then be put out as prescribed for each class.


:If the power cannot be turned off for some reason. Use B, C, or ABC extinguishers. DO NOT USE WATER! YOU WILL BE ELECTROCUTED! After extinguishing the fire, you still have the issue of dangerous electrical current to deal with, along with the possibility of the fire reigniting. Call proper authorities immediately if the problem cannot be solved.


;Class D: Class D fires are combustible metals. These burn because of chemical interaction. An example of this would be sodium and water. Sodium reacts violently when water is introduced. Class D extinguishers vary for each combustible metal. If you have a combustible metal in a work environment, OSHA (in the United States) requires that you have the proper extinguishing agent on hand to deal with any combustion. Never use water to extinguish Class D fires. There are safer methods of extinguishing, such as Class D extinguishers.


;Class K: Class K fires are a newer classification used specifically for cooking oils. Water should not be used to extinguish Class K fires. Oil floats on top of water and the reacts violently with the cold water, splashing everywhere, thus spreading the fire beyond the original confines of a pot or pan. Class K extinguishers are available. However, often an extinguishing system is used instead of an extinguisher for Class K fires.


;Fire Blanket. There should be one of these in every commercial kitchen. For controlling cooking oil and fats on fire. Also for wrapping a person on fire after they have Stopped Dropped Rolled.

===b. With a qualified instructor, know how to use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire.=== 

The instructor should be certified or at least work in an area that utilizes
fire extinguishers often (such as an inspector or firefighter). The fire
should be no bigger than one (1) cubic foot in size and should be in a safe
area (like an empty parking lot). The acronym used for teaching the use of a
fire extinguisher is PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
Other countries may have their own acronyms for this. In New Zealand we use PTASS. Much the same as below with the added T= Test. Before you approach fire do a short test squeeze to ensure your extinguisher actually works.


* Pull the pin (sometimes a safety tab to keep the pin from falling out must be broken first).
* Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
* Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher to start spraying the extinguishing agent.
* Sweep the nozzle at the base of the fire until certain the fire is out.

===c. Know when to quit attempting to put out a fire and evacuate. Discuss the reasons why keeping a clear exit is important.=== 
If the fire is not extinguished when the first extinguisher is used up, do not retrieve another extinguisher and try again. Evacuate yourself and any remaining individuals from the building. You should have already pulled a fire alarm (if there is one) the moment you were sure there was a fire.


An escape route for yourself is extremely important to keep in mind when attempting to fight or extinguish a fire. If you become trapped while trying to be heroic, you have not helped emergency personnel. Instead, you have added to the things they must do. Now they have to find and try to save you as well as fight the fire.

===d. Properly inspect a minimum of five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building. Report your findings to your instructor or group.=== 
Have an inspector show you what to look for when inspecting a fire extinguisher. Then, either with the inspector or with another responsible adult, go around the building and check at least five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building.

==6. Know what to look for during a fire safety inspection. Perform a fire safety inspection of your house and present your findings to your parents.

;Class C: Class C fires are fires that involve electricity. It can have any fuel. It is best to put this fire out by first shutting off the source of electricity. This turns the fire into either a Class A, B, or K fire, which can then be put out as prescribed for each class.


:If the power cannot be turned off for some reason. Use B, C, or ABC extinguishers. DO NOT USE WATER! YOU WILL BE ELECTROCUTED! After extinguishing the fire, you still have the issue of dangerous electrical current to deal with, along with the possibility of the fire reigniting. Call proper authorities immediately if the problem cannot be solved.


;Class D: Class D fires are combustible metals. These burn because of chemical interaction. An example of this would be sodium and water. Sodium reacts violently when water is introduced. Class D extinguishers vary for each combustible metal. If you have a combustible metal in a work environment, OSHA (in the United States) requires that you have the proper extinguishing agent on hand to deal with any combustion. Never use water to extinguish Class D fires. There are safer methods of extinguishing, such as Class D extinguishers.


;Class K: Class K fires are a newer classification used specifically for cooking oils. Water should not be used to extinguish Class K fires. Oil floats on top of water and the reacts violently with the cold water, splashing everywhere, thus spreading the fire beyond the original confines of a pot or pan. Class K extinguishers are available. However, often an extinguishing system is used instead of an extinguisher for Class K fires.

===b. With a qualified instructor, know how to use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire.=== 
The instructor should be certified or at least work in an area that utilizes
fire extinguishers often (such as an inspector or firefighter). The fire
should be no bigger than one (1) cubic foot in size and should be in a safe
area (like an empty parking lot). The acronym used for teaching the use of a
fire extinguisher is PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).


* Pull the pin (sometimes a safety tab to keep the pin from falling out must be broken first).
* Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
* Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher to start spraying the extinguishing agent.
* Sweep the nozzle at the base of the fire until certain the fire is out.

===c. Know when to quit attempting to put out a fire and evacuate. Discuss the reasons why keeping a clear exit is important.=== 
If the fire is not extinguished when the first extinguisher is used up, do not retrieve another extinguisher and try again. Evacuate yourself and any remaining individuals from the building. You should have already pulled a fire alarm (if there is one) the moment you were sure there was a fire.


An escape route for yourself is extremely important to keep in mind when attempting to fight or extinguish a fire. If you become trapped while trying to be heroic, you have not helped emergency personnel. Instead, you have added to the things they must do. Now they have to find and try to save you as well as fight the fire.

===d. Properly inspect a minimum of five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building. Report your findings to your instructor or group.=== 
Have an inspector show you what to look for when inspecting a fire extinguisher. Then, either with the inspector or with another responsible adult, go around the building and check at least five (5) fire extinguishers in your school, church, or other public building.

==6. Know what to look for during a fire safety inspection. Perform a fire safety inspection of your house and present your findings to your parents. Then perform a fire safety inspection of one of the following and present your findings to the leaders of the institution. Be prepared to give suggestions and answer questions that arise. a. Your church b. Your school c. Other public building== 
Have a person who does inspections explain how you should inspect your home and an industrial building. Ask them for things that they check or maybe even a copy of the list that they use. Then either follow them on their inspection or with another adult inspect your church or school. You can be trusted to inspect your own house, though a parent and an inspector might help if you ask. When finished with your inspections let your parents and the leaders of your church or school know what you found. If you have suggestions, now is the time to give them. Also be prepared to explain any issues and or questions that come up during your report.

==7. What guidelines and precautions must you take before starting a camp or trash fire?== 
*Obtain the proper fire permits as required in your area.
*Clear a ten (10) foot area around the entire fire ground. Nothing should be in that ten-foot area. No trash, no leaves, no branches, and no contaminated earth. Let nothing that can burn be left in this area.
*Have enough extinguishing agent (water, dirt) nearby to completely extinguish the fire at its largest volume. Stir the coals to smother the fire on all sides.
*Do not use gasoline or other flammable liquid to start the fire.
*Do not allow children or adults to play with the fire once it is started.

==8. Serve your community in regards to fire safety by doing one of the following:==
===a. Provide smoke detector battery replacements for your neighborhood or community.===
===b. Assist an elderly neighbor in making their residence fire safe.===
===c. Participate in a fire safety awareness campaign in your neighborhood or community.===

==9. Discuss how the following Bible verses apply to fire safety, both temporally and spiritually.==
===a. Isaiah 43:2===
{{Bible verse
|book = Isaiah
|chapter = 43
|verse = 2
|version = NKJV
|text =
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
}}

===b. James 3:5, 6=== 
{{Bible verse
|book = James
|chapter=3
|verse=5, 6
|version = NKJV
|text=
Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.


See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
}}

==Session 1 – Basics==
===What is Orienteering?===
[[Image:Tajfuto.jpg|thumb|150px|right|An orienteer at a control point]]

Orienteering is an International sport originating in Sweden in 1918 invented by Major Ernst Killander.
The sport involves travelling through a course of controls where a card is stamped or a question is answered before moving on to the next control and on to the finish. The winner is the person to have the shortest time getting to all controls. Another version is a scored event where the competitor chooses which controls to visit in a set time. In this event the controls have different score values and points are deducted for being over time.
In some competitions there are multiday events and have ability recognised courses. White Courses for the beginner, Yellow Courses, Orange Courses, Red Courses for the more experienced.
Map and compass skills are an advantage for beginners and for experienced competitors a must.
Orienteering Clubs usually have an Event each month. Events can include the following modes of transportation: running, mountain biking, canoeing, snow skiing, night events, memory events.

===Explain the map symbols===

The map symbols can be divided into several groups: Land forms, rock and boulders, water and marsh, vegetation, man-made features, technical symbols, and overprinting symbols. The symbols used should be explained in a separate legend section.

'''Land forms'''
[[Image:Höjdkurvor orientering olikasorters.jpg |thumb|right|160px| Contours]]

Land forms are contours, slope lines, contour values, earth bank, knoll, depression, small depression, pit, broken ground, and special land form features. These symbols are drawn with brown colour. The contour interval is usually 5 m but can be less.

'''Rock and boulders'''

This group covers cliffs, boulders, boulder fields and clusters, and stony or sandy ground. Black color is used for these symbols.

'''Water and marsh'''

Lakes, ponds, waterholes, rivers, water channels, marshes, wells. The symbols are drawn with blue color.

'''Vegetation'''
[[Image:Example distinct vegetation boundary orienteering.png |thumb|right|200px| Vegetation: ''White'' color is forest, ''yellow'' is open area, and ''green'' indicates reduced runability.]]

Green and yellow colors are used to indicate runability. White is woody area with good runability. Yellow color shows open area, while the green color represents density of the forest and of the undervegetation. Darker green means lower runability, scaling from easy running (white), to slow running, difficult, very difficult, and impassable. Green vertical stripes are used for area with dense undergrowth (slow or difficult running) but otherwise good visibility. Cultivated land (normally prohibited area due to growing crops) is shown with black dots on yellow background.

'''Man-made features'''

Man-made features are roads, tracks, paths, bridges, railway, powerlines, stone walls, fences, buildings, etc. Drawn with black color.

'''Technical symbols'''

Magnetic north line, and other symbols.
[[Image:Percorso di orientamento (ita).png |thumb|left|120px|Course Symbols]]

Course starts at the triangle and ends at the double circle symbol

'''Overprinting symbols'''
The course is printed in purple colour. It consists of symbols for start, control points, control numbers, lines between control points, and finish. Extra information may also be shown, such as dangerous area, forbidden route, first aid post, and refreshment point.

===Name all the parts of a compass===
The Silva compass is a very good one to use on map work. It has a plastic see through base. To get a good picture with a label of what each part is called check out google images.
Some competitors make a small compass that is attached to the thumb.

# Scales. Inches and mm
# Transparent base plate
# North on dial
# Magnetic needle north end
# Liquid filed housing with graduated dial and orienting line
# Direction of travel arrow
# Magnifying lens
# Index pointer (for setting bearings and reading
# Orienting arrow
# Dial graduations 360 deg

===Orientate your map using a compass===

All Orienteering maps have magnetic grid lines. Line up the compass magnetic needle to parallel the magnetic grid lines.

===Complete your first course===

Find a club close to you. Most have their programmes on a web site. Pay the small fee to compete. This pays for your map and helps the club cover operating costs. Compasses can sometimes be borrowed from the club. Have lots of fun. Feel free to ask the organizers lots of helpful questions. Usually the club will send you a monthly newsletter with the results of the courses. This is a cheap family activity. You do not need any special clothing, unless you get more experienced and enter lots of national competitions.

==Session 2 – Advanced Map Work==

===Show your knowledge of land formations===
Knoll, small knoll, depression, small hole, small depression, earth bank, Re-entrant, hill, pond, rocks and boulders.

There are more formations that you can recognize with time and experience.

===Show your knowledge of contour lines===

Contour lines are lines of the same altitude and can be 2.5 m apart, so small differences in land forms are easy to spot. These lines also give a good idea of the shape of the land you are to travel through and this may alter the line of travel choice to get to the next control.

===Show your understanding of scale===
The map scale is normally 1:7500, but other scales are also produced for various purposes. 1:15000 means that one mm on the map represents 15000 mm on the ground which equates to 1mm on the map equalling 15 metres on the ground

===Show how to set your compass to a bearing===
[[Image:CompassUseTargetMarked.jpg|thumb|Setting compass to a bearing]]

When the needle is aligned with and superimposed over the outlined orienting arrow on the bottom of the capsule, the degree figure on the compass ring at the direction-of-travel (DOT) indicator gives the magnetic bearing to the target (mountain).

===Complete a theoretical orienteering exercise===

A good exercise for a group is to find a reasonably flat area of ground. Mark the starting spot. Prepare to walk on a 180 deg bearing get one of your group to walk 20 steps on the bearing the compass holder cab correct his walk then the rest of the group joins him, swap rolls and continue for another 20 steps. Repeat this 3 more times. Next the group walks 10 steps on a 90 deg bearing. Prepare to walk on a 360 deg bearing and go in stages as before. After the 5 stages find how close you are to the start mark. The group should be 20 steps away from the mark and it should be on a bearing of 270 deg. Another exciting version of this is to have slightly sloping ground and do it at night with candles or torches.

===Complete a Scored Event===

'''Score Event'''

Competitors visit as many controls as possible within a time limit. There is usually a mass start (rather than staggered), with a time limit. Controls may have different point values depending on difficulty and there is a point penalty for each minute late. The competitor with the most points is the winner. The large-scale, endurance-style version of a Score-O is known as a rogaine, competed by teams in events lasting (often) 24 hours. A very large area is used for competition, and the map scale is smaller. The format originated in Australia. The term ROGAINE is often said to stand for Rugged Outdoor Group Activity Involving Navigation and Endurance; this is essentially a backronym, as the name actually originates from the names of Rod, Gail and Neil Phillips, who were among Australian Rogaining's first participants.

==Session 3 – Further Techniques==

===Show your knowledge of “aiming off”===

This is a technique of purposely going of the compass bearing knowing that you are heading for a fence, path, small track. For example you are not following a track but though easy run able open forest your next control is 250 m away on a 90 deg bearing along a fence line. To save time in finding the control you purposely choose to head slightly to the left of the bearing so you know once you get to the fence line the control has to be along the fence a bit to your right. With out ”aiming off” if you stuck to the bearing and arrived at the fence and you were not accurate enough you would not know if the control was to the left or to the right.

===Show your knowledge of using “attack points”===

Large or obvious features near control

Safest version is the crossing of two handrail features
advanced example is a special shaped knoll in amongst many knolls

Use as preview to finding control

Advanced technique may use 2 or more attack points e.g. a huge knoll about 1-200m from control, then a re-entrant on the side of the knoll, then the pit that is the control feature.

'''Handrails.'''

These are an essential part of any route. It is worth going a bit out of your way to follow them for basic and intermediate level orienteering. They can be tracks, edge of vegetation, mapped fences, streams, clearings etc. You can link point features together to make a line.

===Find your own pace count===

Walk for 500m counting how may steps you have taken. From this you can really accurately measure distance you need to travel on a map to the reality of walking a trail so you know where you are and how close you are to the next control or track junction turn off.

===Explain your understanding of “stoplight thinking”===

Stop (Red): When you are near the next control stop have a good look around check the map see where you have to go immediately after the control.

Caution (Orange): Approach the control tactfully check that the number is correct make little noise or marks on ground.

Go (Green): No need to hang around and give the controls position away to another searcher, and you already know where to go next so go man go!!

===Prepare an Orienteering Map===

While map drawing earlier was done by hand, in later years special programs have been developed for construction of digital maps.

===Complete a night course===

Lots of fun. Take a good torch hand held or a head lamp. Some purists do not like you having a real powerful torch. For the first time choose an easier course than that you would normally do in the day time.
