Skills that included : compass work, map making, map reading, hunting skills, tracking, fire building, rope work, first aid, communication ( with the tribes that they would have to trade with), and signaling.  The most important skill to stay alive was teamwork

          Patrols will go through a series of  compass work stations where points will be awarded for accuracy.  Each station will advance the compass skill level of the patrol with the last level being the orienteering merit badge compass course (orienteering mb will not be offered but a partial will be signed bring blue cards)
