Putting Our Heads Together...

   OK. The Compass Class is a go, and my whole patrol is gonna help me with it. We'll each handle the part we do best. I'll go first and tell about how to use one when you're headed into uncharted territory, so you can get back without getting lost. No matter how far you get off the trail.

   Buddy will take it from there with the map section. On account of he is way good at drawing maps, and if you use your compass at the same time, it's a guarantee you won't get lost. C. wants to tell everybody how you can find your way if you DON'T have a compass.

   S. is going to show how to make one if you're already lost. You might wonder what good one would be then, but -- take my word for it -- a lost person needs a compass more than anybody. Because of how people have a habit of walking in circles when they don't know where they are. No kidding.

   Then all of us together will pool our ideas about the best kind of compass to buy. We each have different opinions about that. Except there is one thing we all agree on, no matter what. This time of year is the absolute best time to get a compass. On account of it's so close to Christmas, a lot of parents are asking kids what they want. Heh, heh, heh...

   Hey -- I wasn't born yesterday.

   So, stay tuned for times and dates, so you don't miss out on any of it. Meanwhile, have a great weekend. Oh, yeah. And if you don't have your own piece of the wilderness staked out, yet -- what are you waiting for? Get out there and find one!

   Seriously,
      W.K.
