GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY
A GRID REFERENCE is a number which gives a location on a map
They are very useful in Scouts when we’re out hiking
We can use them to find out where we’re supposed to be…
...or if we get lost we can tell someone where we are!
![Page 4: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

The grid references we usually use are SIX FIGURE references
They will look something like this:
216409A bit like a phone number!
![Page 5: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

These numbers refer to the GRID which covers all maps
Here they’re marked in PINK so you can see them, but they’re usually BLUE
![Page 6: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The grid is labelled with GRID NUMBERS at the bottom and left sides of the map

The numbers at the bottom are called NORTHINGS because the label grid lines which go NORTH

The numbers at the bottom are called EASTINGS because the label grid lines which go EAST

Each Northing refers to the column to the right of it’s grid line
![Page 10: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
Each Easting refers to the row above it’s grid line
![Page 11: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
Where are these NORTHINGS and EASTINGS in the Grid Reference?
21640921 40NORTHING EASTING
![Page 12: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
Both numbers combined give a square on the map...
21
The grid reference of this square is 21 40
![Page 13: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
How do you remember WHICH COMES FIRST though?
Well, just remember
NORTHINGS FIRSTNORTHINGS FIRST…and that NORTHINGS are the numbers along the bottom, labelling the lines that go NORTH!

GRID REFERENCESMADE EASY
EXERCISE ONEFIND THE SQUARE
You’ll have a map between two, and a list of 6 figure grid references - just find the big square for each one
![Page 15: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
OK so we now know how to find the square from these numbers:
21640921 40But what about these ones?
6 9
What are they for?
![Page 16: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
Well the 40 and 21 only give you a big square one kilometre wide!
4021
Not much use if you need to know where to go exactly!
1km
![Page 17: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
So we split each square into 100 smaller squares...
![Page 18: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
Each square is labelled like the grid before, but with just one number from 0 to 9
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
9876543210
![Page 19: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
So, same as before, a square is identified by a NORTHING and an EASTINGRemember, NORTHING first
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
9876543210
So what’s the two numbers which identify this square?
![Page 20: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
That’s right: 4 and then 7
4 first as it’s the NORTHING
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
9876543210
![Page 21: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
Then 7 as it’s the EASTING
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
9876543210
![Page 22: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
OK, let’s put it all together… See the spot height marked 375 in the square below?

![Page 23: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
Let’s find out it’s full 6 figure reference
_ _ _ _ _ _First, what square is it in?
20 21 22 2340

![Page 24: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
20 21 22 2340
41
42Yes, 21 - 40!But where does this fit into the 6 figure reference?
![Page 25: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

20 21 22 2340

Both together... 2 1 _ 4 0 _
![Page 28: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
20 21 22 2340
41
42 Now we need to look at the missing two figures:
2 1 _ 4 0 _
![Page 29: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
20 21 22 2340
41
422 1 _ 4 0 _So we add the grid - usually you do this in your mind!
![Page 30: GRID REFERENCES MADE EASY](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012911/56816866550346895ddec6ff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
www.9thHuddersfieldScouts.org.uk
20 21 22 2340

422 1 _ 4 0 _The spot height is in this square

EXERCISE TWOPRACTISE MAKES PERFECT
You’ll have a map between two, challenge each other to give the grid ref for a place, and the places for given refs
