County Orienteering Competition 2005

This is an annual competition for teams of two Scouts or Explorer Scouts from all Troops and Units in the Scout County of Greater London South West. In 2005 the competition took place on Sunday 27th November in and around Riddlesdown Common near Purley.

The aim of the competition was to find a set of controls (orienteering markers) using a map and compass. For each control found, ten points were awarded. Each team was given two hours to find all the controls and one point was lost for each minute taken over the two hours. The winning team in each category is the one that finished with the most points in the least time.

Over fifty teams from around the County entered. The following Sutton Scout and Explorer Scout teams took part:
