Are you moving on to university or do you have someone in your household who is uni bound?
We’d love to hear from you and we can put you in touch with the relevant people to help you stay in touch with orienteering. We’d love to keep in touch with you and keep you in the sport.
The glorious 12th. It’s International Youth Day. Let’s celebrate the young people who are active in our sport in so many different ways. They are our future!

We have young leaders who help out with schools and clubs, youngsters who participate in squads, those who perform on the world stage and those who turn up and do what is asked of them without a fuss.
Last week saw a highly successful Scottish 6 Day event being staged in Lochaber, despite the many uncertainties, challenges and difficulties that had to be overcome in the lead up to the event. Big shout out for everyone who played a part in making it happen!
We are aware of the changes to Covid restrictions beyond Level 0 that came into effect this morning and Scottish Orienteering guidelines and risk assessment templates will therefore be reviewed. However, due to staff annual leave it may be the week beginning 16th August before we are able to publish our next guidance.
This summer Scottish Orienteering has been working in partnership with Live Life Aberdeenshire to deliver orienteering as part of its multi-activity holiday camps.
We are delighted to be able to extend the deadline for the Score photo competition until the 23rd August 2021. This allows you to send all the wonderful orienteering photos we know you are going to be taking during Masterplan Adventure’s Coast and Islands event and the Scottish 6 days 2021 in Lochaber too.
Scottish 6 days action shots we are all looking forward to!
The Scottish Government have now confirmed that Scotland will move to level 0 on Monday 19th July. We have outlined within our guidance document the requirements for coaches, clubs and event organisers to comply with Scottish Government restrictions.
The 2021 Scottish 6 Days has been planned in keeping with level 1 conditions and will mainly run as planned, refer to Scottish 6 Days website for up to date information. Please respect all the guidelines and event rules that are outlined at specific events provided by event organisers.
