How good are you at finding your way using a map and compass?  You can improve your skills and have a lot of fun if you use the orienteering facilities available at Beaumont.  There is an orienteering kit available to those units who have leaders certified to use the kit.  With it you can learn to use a map and compass, to make your own map, and to run a real orienteering course.  For those units that feel themselves already skilled in map and compass use, there is a 21-stake permanent orienteering course available by reservation.

For more information or to make a reservation, contact the Camping Department at 314-361-0600 or 800-392-0895.
