Cross-Country March by One's Own Shadow
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”A sunny day. Patrols are released from a certain point into varied and wooded terrain, with the task of reaching a bridge located by the road leading from locality A to locality B. The instructor provides the angle of the marching scout’s shadow relative to the direction of the march (determined by the instructor using a compass and map). When the youth know how to determine the direction of the march based on the map, one member of the group then determines the shadow angle.
During the march, patrols ensure that the angle between the direction and their own shadow remains constant. They assist themselves in determining the direction of the march using terrain landmarks.
The patrol that reaches the indicated road closest to the given bridge wins.
