Participants, called orienteers, begin by getting a prepared orienteering topographic map that features specific details of the area so they can find control points. Control points are checkpoints used so orienteers can ensure that they are on the right path to completing their course. Orienteering History Orienteering first gained popularity as a military exercise in 19th century Sweden and orienteering as a term was introduced there in 1886. Then the term meant the crossing of unknown land with just a map and compass. In 1897, the first non-military public orienteering competition took place in Norway.

After World War II, orienteering grew popular worldwide and in 1959, an international conference on orienteering was held in Sweden to discuss the formation of an orienteering committee.
