Verify that you're at the right control by matching the map control code to the punch code

Description

Kids should always check the control code (number or letter) at the physical control and compare it with the control code marked somewhere on their map (it could be beside the control circle or in a separate table or control description sheet somewhere on the map). This provides confirmation if they're at the control they should be at.
