BOK Junior League
The BOK Junior League provides an exciting and sociable opportunity for younger members to experience competitive orienteering in and around Bristol. League scores are based on results from a series of BOK Local events, held between September and May each year.
Prizes for each junior course will be presented at the BOK Club Dinner alongside the other annual awards.
Schools' prizes also available for the top scoring primary and secondary schools.

* Fair Play Rule:- The league is designed to inspire junior members to take part in competitive orienteering. It is not just a chance to collect silverware! It is important that, regardless of age, juniors run a course that challenges them, without being put off. If the league organisers feel a junior is competing on courses that are far too easy for them, we may, in the spirit of the competition, get in touch to suggest they move onto a harder course.
**Membership of BOK is triggered by joining British Orienteering. Membership is annual, aligned with the calendar year. Newcomers can join in November or December for the forthcoming year. Members of other British Orienteering clubs are also eligible to take part in the League, but must provide their BO number when registering.
