Get back into orienteering action with our latest issue! Available now on our website.

On reflection of the guidance provided to us by sportscotland for ‘beyond level 0’ which came into affect on 16th August and on balance of the current national figures for Covid in Scotland we have taken the decision at this time to not amend our existing guidance. However there have been some changes to the events risk assessment which is published below. We will be running a covid officer question and answer session on 9th September for clubs to air their views and ask any questions relating to guidance or risk assessments currently in place or provide their input into the next steps.

Selections will be made in early September for the Scottish teams to compete at the upcoming Junior Inter-Regional Champs (25-26 Sep 2021) and Junior Home Internationals (9-10 Oct 2021), as well as the 2021-22 Scottish Junior squad.

Congratulations to those selected to represent Scotland for the Senior Home Internationals being held on the 4th and 5th September in Aberdeenshire.

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.

Entries are now open for the Scottish Junior Cup race to be held at Tentsmuir North, Tayport, on Sun Aug 29th 2021.

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!

A report from Assistant Co-ordinator, Colin Matheson, is available on the British Orienteering website.

Summary information with links to results, day reports and photos is now available on the Scottish 6 Days website

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.

A call over a year ago started what has proved to be a very fruitful partnership in Dundee.
