Record Number of Orienteers

Ed Smith in Waterside

The largest orienteering meet ever held in the Maritimes was run last week by some Smiths (Ed and Lu), some Camerons (David and Greg) and Andrew Sinclair at Kouchibouguac National Park. This was affectionately known as the KOUCH 95. It was, of course, the orienteering program event of the Scout Jamboree and had 710 participants over 5 days.

The map was made by the Smiths with help from the Park (with aerial photographs) The weather was superb, the participants were enthusiastic, and we hope there will be some spinoffs over the next few years for local clubs.
