British Orienteering Homepage

Development Team

Members of the Development Team work in most association areas in the UK. They are part time, with often as little as 8 hours work time per week, so please be patient as they have more work than they can possibly deal with and are required to prioritise their work.

Key priorities are:

To support clubs to achieve Club Standards, called Clubmark in England but under various other guises in the other home nations
To increase youth participation, particularly through helping clubs and schools develop partnerships that will encourage young people to experience orienteering

Please contact the development officer in your area to seek advice.
