Scottish Orienteering Association

About

The Scottish Orienteering Association (SOA) is the Scottish Governing Body (SGB) for the sport of orienteering, a charitable body and a constituent association of British Orienteering. We receive support from sportscotland and are based at the sportscotland National Outdoor Training Centre, Glenmore Lodge, near Aviemore. Scottish Orienteering is run by a team of professionals, who are based around Scotland and a Board of Directors who meet quarterly. As a Sports Governing Body we are responsible for the governance, development and promotion of the sport in Scotland, mainly through the network of clubs, support of junior and elite squads, the staging of events and the training of coaches. We also publish many useful guides for clubs, event officials, beginners, teachers and coaches and work closely with schools, because orienteering is a great form of outdoor learning.
