There are a number of Junior specific events, both locally and nationally. We also have close relationships with schools and have a specific Schools section on the website.

We are pleased to be hosting the British Schools Orienteering Championships 2024 in November at Shorne Woods Country Park near Gravesend, Kent. See here for full details.

Yvette Baker Shield Final

The Yvette Baker Trophy and Shield are the premier Junior Inter-Club competitions for English and Welsh orienteering clubs. They are named after Britain's first World Orienteering Champion Yvette Baker, who won Gold in the Short Distance event at the World Championships in Scotland in 1999.
More details on the British Orienteering website.

Kent Junior Orienteering Festival

The Kent Junior Orienteering Festival (previously Kent Junior Orienteering Championships) is held annually during the summer. Its organisation is shared between the two orienteering clubs serving Kent, DFOK and SAXONS.
