BADO MembershipBADO MembershipOrienteering is a sport that appeals to people of all abilities and ages. Families and complete beginners are particularly welcome in BADO.
You don't need to be a club member to try orienteering. All local events, and some regional and national events
offer "entry on the day" (EOD) courses. Look for the Enquiries tent and someone there will be only too willing to help you.
You join BADO as either a National or Local British Orienteering Member. The
fees below include club and region (SCOA) membership, both of which are currently free.
