Score-O Competition & Campout

at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch

October 13-15, 2023

For 25 years the Longhorn Council’s largest Scout event and one of the most popular orienteering events held in the USA. Orienteering is an international sport that consists of finding control markers in the field from locations marked on a map. This year’s competition will start in the main camp area by the dining hall.

Each team gets a 5-color map for each participant 5 minutes before their race starting time. There are 75-85 flags/markers shown on the map and you must find all you can in 3.5 hours. Some are easy to find & some are hard. Each flag is worth 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 points, depending on how hard it is to find.

Plan your strategy to find the most flags and maximize your score!! The Orange & White markers in the field are identified with a number to let you know if you have found the control flag. To prove you found the marker you punch your score card with the corresponding hole puncher provided at the marker.
