ORIENTEERING ASSOCIATION OF HONG KONG
|
|
Orienteering, is a sport similar with 'treasure hunt', which was founded by a Swedish scout leader, Major Evnat Killander in 1918.
|
The rules of orienteering are as follows: First of all, the participants should use a map which is provided by the organiser and find out every pre-set Control Point. At the same time, the participants should bring a provided Control Card in the course of event. When they reach a control point, they will find a Marker, a flag in orange and white colour, and a Punch under it. The participants can use the punch to make a record on their control card
and the punch pattern can prove that they have already visited this point.
