1. Make a collection of maps and street plans, e.g. road maps, Ordnance Survey maps, tourist maps, street maps and public transport maps. Look at as many different types as possible. Show your collection to your Patrol and explain when you would use each map and from where you would obtain them.
2. Explain how to read a map or street plan of your choice. Include information such as scale, grid reference and symbols.
3. Draw a sketch map of the area around your home or meeting place and indicate if drivers, pedestrians or both would use the map.
4. Be able to give clear directions to a given place within your locality, e.g. local shops, telephone box, place of worship, bus stop etc.
5. Explain how to obtain information to help you plan a journey, e.g. train or bus times. Show how to read a timetable.
6. Plan two journeys using different methods, e.g.:
· A walk using an Ordnance Survey map.
· Travelling to camp using a road map.
· A city walk using a tourist map.
· Visiting a tourist attraction using public transport.
7. With a small group (your unit, Patrol or family), undertake one of the journeys. Explain your plans before you go and remember to include:
· The route you will follow.
· The approximate time it will take.
· Who you are travelling with.
· How you and your group will keep safe.
