e/Operation On-Target

Information
has gloss	eng: Operation On-Target is a high adventure activity mainly for Varsity Scouts, but also including Venturers and older Boy Scouts. The event is mainly held in the western United States. The basic idea is to have Scouts scattered across a particular area, located on mountain peaks within line of sight of each other. Using large signaling mirrors, they relay messages from peak to peak. Many units spend time in the weeks or months before the actual event learning communications skills like ham radio and signaling. Of course, getting to some of the peaks can also be a challenge, requiring the boys to practice hiking, camping, and backpacking skills.
