We would love to support you to learn more about orienteering. We’ve already seen the positive results of orienteering and scouts partnering together. Gordon from Orienteering Queensland has been working with Brian from Bayside Scouts to:

• Educate scout leaders on how to organise a safe, educational and enjoyable orienteering experience
• Facilitate orienteering events on scout properties
• Create the required safety forms

Hundreds of Brisbane scouts and their leaders are now benefiting from engaging in orienteering. They have enjoyed learning navigational skills, developing confidence to travel in the bush and working together as a team.

There are many other examples from around Australia where orienteers are working with scouts to enjoy nature and develop valuable life skills. If you are interested in partnering with orienteering to give your scouts an orienteering adventure, please leave your contact details and we’ll reach out to you.

We also have some specific learning sessions in the next few months. This is a great opportunity for scout leaders to learn the basics of orienteering and how to organise your own adventure. Follow the links below to join your local program.
