Blind Guide: Two scouts both with compasses. One scout puts a paper grocery bag over his head he can only look down to see his compass the other scout guides him thru a course or to a certain point by giving him compass bearings to follow.
Solve the word: Hang the letters of the alphabet in a circle. Give the scout a bearing for each letter in the word on a piece of paper and let them solve for the letters and figure out the word.
Find the prize: Make a compass course with prizes, candy, food or a gold spray painted rock at the end of each leg.
Determine the missing leg: Make up a 3 sided compass course, but only give scouts 2 of the sides and let them give you the bearing and distance back to the starting point. See how close they come to what it should be.
Find a direction: On index cards write North, South, East, West and could also add NE, SE, SW, NW if you want. Shuffle the cards, each boy picks a card, then the leader pick a direction for north and the boys need to stand in the correct spots.
