Don’t miss our last event of the season! Join us in the piney woods of East Texas on Sat., April 13, at Tyler State Park. Online registration closes on Thurs., April 11, at 6 pm, so Register today!

Join us for the last point-to-point event of the 2022-2023 season in one of our favorite venues, Tyler State Park. PLUS: Stick around for Night orienteering! Learn more and sign up via the info page. Image: Tyler during a controlled burn last year — keeping the forest healthy and runnable!

It’s time to head back to Sid Richardson Scout Ranch (and hopefully some great weather and wildflowers) for our Spring-O event in coordination with the Longhorn BSA Council! Registration for orienteering (via NTOA) and optional lodging (via BSA) are both now open: http://ntoa.com/spring-o-with-longhorn-council-bsa-2023/

Different format, maybe even more fun: Mass start, following is allowed, skip a control, first one across the line wins for each course. It’s barebones, so no awards, just navigational fun. All this for $5 ($3 e-punch rental required if you don’t have your own.) This terrain is tough, though… http://ntoa.com/lbj-grasslands-dillogoat-2023/

December is right around the corner, and with it our meet at Camp Trevor Rees-Jones/Clements Scout Ranch near Athens. Usually called the Texas Stampede, this season we’re elevating it to the Texas championships! Registration is open now — note: Please download the PDF with special Championship classes and sign up for one of these, even if it’s not the course …

Enjoy Thanksgiving week with family and friends even more by taking them orienteering at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano! Register online and then download maps for one (or more) of three courses by Stan Darnell.
