Leanna had her all-day orienteering competition on Saturday again. She was really hoping to win since her trophy from last year broke. I knew she stood a good chance because her asst. leader (who was her troop leader last year) is a champion in the sport. And sure enough, she came home dirty and bearing wilting flowers, some sticks, and a new trophy! I asked her if she'd teach me how to do it. She considered it, then said only if I'd let her be in charge of me and everything else.

What is the trophy for? It almost looks like a girl on a skateboard.
She won for Orienteering.
From Wikipedia: Orienteering is a family of sports that require navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain. Participants are given a map, usually a specially prepared orienteering map, which they use to find control points.[1] Originally a training exercise in land navigation for military officers, orienteering has developed many variations. Among these, the oldest and the most popular is foot orienteering. For the purposes of this article, foot orienteering serves as a point of departure for discussion of all other variations, but basically any sport that involves racing against a clock and requires navigation using a map is a type of orienteering.
I think it looks like a bowling trophy that they modified!
