* A Second Class Scout must first qualify for First Class Scoutcraft Requirement 2 (see page 111).
Requirements January 1960 until September 1963
1. Do one:
a. From an initial point, measure by tape a range line north 330 feet and south 330 feet. Using the same initial point and procedure, establish a base line east 330 feet and west 330 feet. Locate the main features of the area by compass readings and pace measurements from one or more stations along the range or base lines.
b. Establish the corners of a lot described as follows: from a point of beginning; thence running (1) south 83 degrees 30 minutes east, 78 feet; thence (2) north 35 degrees 30 minutes east, 86 feet; thence (3) north 64 degrees west, 47 feet; thence (4) north 89 degrees 30 minutes west, 51.2 feet; thence (5) south 22 degrees 30 minutes west, 88.9 feet to the point of beginning. Your error of closure must not exceed 5 feet. Locate the main features of the lot by compass readings and pace measurements from its corners.
2. From the field notes gathered for Requirement 1, draw a map to a convenient scale. Submit a neatly drawn copy of your map to your counselor.
3. Use the initial point or point of beginning as a bench mark with an assumed elevation of 100 feet to determine the elevation of four other points.
4. Without traversing a distance of approximately 300 to 3,000 feet, determine its length by proper surveying methods; then tape the distance. Your figure must be within 5 per cent of the taped measurement.
5. Determine the height of a point by accepted surveying methods that can be checked by raising or lowering a tape. Your figure must be within 5 percent of the taped measurement.
6. Discuss with your counselor the development and importance of surveying.
2. LAY OUT YOUR CAMP
a. CAMP SITE--Select a site suitable for a patrol camp and explain your reasons for picking it.
b. DIRECTIONS--Lay out on the ground a magnetic north-south line using a compass and a true north-south line with the help of the sun by day, the North Star by night.
c. MEASURING--With simple means and using your personal measurements, determine a height you cannot reach (such as a tree) and a width you cannot walk (such as a river or canyon).
d. MAPPING--Make a map sketch of your camp and a map sketch by which someone unfamiliar with your camp location can find his way to it over a distance of at least two miles.
