Tracking (Scouting)

Tracking (Scouting)

Tracking is a Scouting activity which involves laying a trail or following a trail laid by others. A trail is a series of signs, largely comprising directions, which are laid on the ground. Tracking also involves interpreting bird language to better understand relevant changes in baseline and if the scouted party is nearby. Native Americans were very good trackers, and could track food for 10 miles.
