Last Friday night the Scouts went on a mystery Navigation exercise.
Starting in the pitch black of Loughshore Carpark at Whiteabbey , they followed various routes on the magnified maps using only head torches and eventually found their way to Gideon’s Green, along the Coastal Path.
Pausing for breath , they were then informed of the true objective of their navigation mission – to find the Golden Arches and claim their prize.
Mission accomplished , they worked out an alternative route home and it was back to the rendezvous for collection by parents at 21:30 hrs.
