The British Schools Orienteering Association and the British Orienteering Federation have jointly introduced an award to recognise services to schools orienteering.

It has long been realised that there are many people who devote numerous hours for the benefit of schools orienteering. Until now they have only had limited recognition. These awards have been introduced to acknowledge the contribution they make.

Here is the list of Previous Awards.

Recognition will be on two levels, Services to Schools Orienteering and Outstanding Services to Schools Orienteering.

There is no restriction on who can be nominated. Nominees could be a teacher, a parent, a club member, or anyone who has helped with this work.

Nominations can be made by anyone, and should include a statement as to why they should be considered.

Nominations are considered every 6 months (in February and August). Please send nominations to the eMail: awards (at) bsoa.org?Subject=Nomination for Award for Service to Schools Orienteering before the end of January or July. A committee of representatives from both BOF and BSOA will make the decision as to who receives the award and at what level.

Please consider if there is anyone you feel is worthy of an award and make a nomination.
