Final chance to provide input to the Scottish Orienteering Strategy
Ensuring the future of Scottish Orienteering was at the forefront of the minds of the SOA Board when they met in March to consider the development of the strategy for Scottish Orienteering from 2025 to 2029.
The keen eyed amongst you will have noticed that this strategy is not just laying out what the SOA should be doing over the next four years but looking at the larger picture of what is required for Scottish Orienteering as a whole going forward. The SOA, British Orienteering, clubs and members together with SportScotland all have a part to play to ensure our sport thrives.
Our sport is an inclusive, dynamic sport but like all sports it has challenges with the volunteer load required, the need to expand awareness of the sport beyond our existing participants, retain our existing members as well as being aware of environmental impacts of our sport. However we believe that with us all working together we can develop and grow our sport. On that basis we have drafted an outline strategy which looks at the pathways within our sport and the actions which we believe should be taken over the next four years.
