Your team task involves using a G.P.S. unit, topographic maps, commercial grade Motorola 5 watt 2-way radios, written and verbal instructions, a set of clues, and a pen to find flags on a tract of land. Your "field team" will be scouring the terrain to find the hidden flags while back at 'Command Central', 2 of your teammates are the eyes and ears relaying the information from the map that they have (with specific locations and clues) via 2-way radios. Teams in the field possess a blank map, a G.P.S. unit (with pre-existing coordinates entered) and a 2-way radio and that's it! It's the entire team's objective to communicate effectively via a 2- way radio in order to steer the "field team" in the right direction so they can "capture the flag". Each specified GPS landmark denotes a determined number of flags on the ground. Every time a flag is claimed, its counterpart gets pulled from Command Central's digital projection map. This is an action-packed activity that will have your team cheering for more.

GPS landmarks represent projects. Every successful completion of a project is marked by capturing the associated flag and, therefore, its point value. One of the significant variables in this activity is that the value of the flag depends on the distance traveled and the relative obscurity of the point. So, implementation of a well thought-out strategy is crucial. Field teams can expect to walk between 1 and 3 miles during this low-impact activity and they must stay together.

This program is easily incorporated in both urban settings and in the backcountry, depending on your group's needs and goals.
