Good observation.
A bit of both. First, they were not exactly lost - just confused of their whereabouts and what they were doing at the time (it was there first "real" experience using map, compass and GPS). I did dramatize the lost part to emphasize the group dynamatics part of the story line though. And, I didn't want to mention it in the story but they were "troubled" youth with me, which may have made a slight difference.
