Score-O is a fast-paced Orienteering competition - one of the Longhorn Council's most popular events! Your team gets a SCORE-O map half an hour before the race starts. The map shows the locations of control flags placed out in the woods for you to find. You plan your strategy to find the most flags and score the maximum point total possible in 4 hours! The map will feature new control flag locations. For teams of Boy Scouts, Venturers, Explorers and adults. Webelos may camp with a Troop. Cub Scouts must go to Cub-O.
