ScotJOS squad selected for 2026/2027 travel to Knapdale

The Scottish Junior Orienteering Squad (ScotJOS) has now been finalised for 2026/2027 with 34 juniors accepting their place on the squad.

Congratulations to all selected and the ScotJOS team of Team Manager Jason Inman and Lead Coach Roger Goddard are looking forward to working with the new squad to support their orienteering development.

Roger Goddard commented “Congratulations on all selected, we have such talented group of juniors in Scotland to select from.  I am really looking forward to working with everyone, and I especially want to welcome our 5 new members to the squad” 

With Jason Inman newly appointed as Team Manager he is looking forward to working with the ScotJOS group and as his first challenge organised a trip down to Knapdale on some awesome terrain as their first weekend. Thank you to Loch Eck Orienteering Club (ECKO) and Masterplan Adventure for allowing the juniors to train on these areas and it was reported great fun and some superb orienteering was had by all!
