In Scouting (Boy Scouts of America, BSA) a "pace" is defined as the distance from left-foot-down to next left-foot-down (i.e. two steps), or the corresponding distance between right-foot-downs.
I'm not certain which, left or right, is taught in the present BSA handbooks. Who has a current BSA Handbook? ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Pierre Abbat [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2013 12:08 PM To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:53023] Re: Si and Agriculture examples On Monday, July 01, 2013 18:58:41 Martin Vlietstra wrote: > Top of my hip-bone to the ground is one metre. 1 m on me is up to my xiphoid. > My pace is about 80cm – useful when I need to confirm the distance from the > stumps to the boundary on a cricket field (OK, you guys might prefer to > replace “stumps” with “home base” etc). My pace is 678 mm, as long as my feet are well. That was one of the things we measured in the first surveying class. Pierre -- ve ka'a ro klaji la .romas. se jmaji
