New to Orienteering?
Orienteering is an exciting adventure sport suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible. There’s no set route between the controls, so you have to decide which way to go and then find your way there without getting lost.

Friends of STAG Membership in 2025
Friends of STAG - is available for those who wish to be associated with our Club but are not regular participants. The fee charged allows the Club to charge individuals the same fee as other STAG Seniors for up to 3 of our events.
This is required as British Orienteering now charge Non-BOF Members an additional 95p on the levy at events.
STAG 'benefits' from your involvement and doesn't lose out financially.
In 2024 we had 6 members including Neil and Dave (ex members now living in England) who joined at this level.
When we can we shall offer 3 sessions to interested schools but after this the member of Staff involved will require to join STAG/SOA/BOF for such support to continue.

ORIENTEERINGLASGOW - Glasgow's Permanent Course NetworkUpdated 22nd December 2024.
Following a full review, there are no current plans to either repair or extend the network of courses. A lack of support/interest to refund the necessary repairs added to the real difficulty of how to make the maps accessible to the general public have influenced this decision.
