## Description

desertcart.com : TurnOnSport Orienteering Compass for Hiking, Backpacking & Camping - Advanced Scout Compass for Kids & Professionals : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Light-weight, user-friendly, and a great value - I purchased this for a homeschooling project to do with my five kids. I needed a compass quickly, and saw the positive reviews and went for it. I absolutely love that it has a string. This made it simple for my four year old son to hang on his neck and keep close on our nature walk. It was very simple to use and has a nice, big and easy to read orienting lines, arrow, and magnetic needle. It is well-built and a good value. I am planning to order more so each kid can carry one on future nature walks. It's light, portable, and very user-friendly--even for little ones. Added bonus: there's a built-in magnifying glass for spotting creatures and nature!
Review: Decent quality at a great price! - We’ve used the compass to do some beginner orienteering and it has worked great! Sturdy enough for an 8-year-old Cub Scout.
