Contribute to the formulation of the Scottish Orienteering Strategy for 2025- 2029

The last Scottish Orienteering Strategy document prepared covered the period 2020- 2024 and therefore the Scottish Orienteering Association Board are now spending the next month or two looking to gather your thoughts to allow the development of an SOA Strategy for 2025-2029.  This is an important part of securing SportScotland funding for the next four years.

As with the development of any Strategy the SOA Board will be looking to appraise needs of the sport and how you as a community would like to see it develop.  These views will then be considered and the Strategy will be presented to SportScotland and to members at the Club Conference to be held in the autumn.  

In order to gather your views we will be holding three Zoom sessions on Tuesday 13th, Thursday 22nd and Wednesday 28th February at 7pm.  The aim is to gather views per area but everyone is welcome to attend whichever zoom meeting suits them best.  We will also be arranging a junior discussion group and gathering views from volunteers at the Volunteers Day on 9th March (clubs have been asked to send details of which volunteers within their club would like to attend but if you are interested in attending please contact suzanne@scottish-orienteering.org)

The links to the Zoom sessions are as follows and will be placed on the website.
