Then walk is with your normal gait as you count the paces.  Do this a couple of times to see how consistent you are.

-Although over 30,000 boxes have been hidden, not all of them can still be found. Instructors should find 2 or 3 boxes before the group goes out in order to decrease initial discouragement.  This requirement has been listed as a group activity, mainly for safety reasons, both on the internet and in the field. But make sure each Pathfinder participates and learns how to follow instructions and clues. If your group is large, divide into units no bigger than five. When clues have not been very clear ask the Pathfinders how they would improve the directions.
