Orienteering

Orienteering is a team not just in JROTC but in the actual world as well. What you do is you get a map of an area. The difficulty of it depends on the color you are at. The colors are White, Yellow, Orange, Red and Green. Essentially the darker, the harder. You have a set limit to complete the course, which is usually about three hours. After that, you're DSQ'ed for the day. The competitions usually last about 2 days. After the 2 days are completed, the judges add up the times for both days and give awards to the top three in each course, male and female. The teams with the three best times are awarded best teams overall.
Orienteering is divided by Male/Female/Co-ed or by course color. They compete in straight line or Score O. Straight line is where you go to pt 1, then pt 2 and so on. They are divided into courses. White, being the easiest, then Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green, Red, and Blue being the hardest. They average to 3-6km in each course. In Score O however, they give you all the points on the field on the map. Your goal is to go to as many points you can and come back within the time limit. The average time limity to be DQ'ed is approximately 1.5-3 hours depending on which course you are running.
