The markers are 20 lb. concrete
cylinders. They are buried so that the top is level with the
ground, so that mowers may drive
over the markers without the possibility of hitting them. As a result, these control points make for a challengeing course as they
are not visible from long distances. Scout leaders who wish to make the course easier for their scouts can place flags near each
control point to make them easier to locate.
