The patrol leader draws a line on the map, leading it through passable terrain. He hands the map to one scout and orders him to lead the patrol exactly along the line. The rest, with maps in hand, are to monitor the march and, if called upon, correct his mistaken direction. The leader must constantly observe the terrain passed and compare the features encountered with the map’s drawing, so as not to deviate from the marked course and to reach the designated destination. All observations are to be made aloud. This is an excellent exercise in map reading.
