ELO membership for 2027
join or renew
Join ELO
2027 membership is now open – whether you are renewing your membership or joining ELO for the first time. If you pay now you will be a member until the end of 2027.
There are two membership options depending on whether you wish to join British Orienteering (BOF) as well as Scottish Orienteering (SOA) and ELO…
| Join ELO & SOA | Senior £12 | Young Adult £2 | Junior £2 | Family £26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Join ELO, SOA & BOF | Senior £32 | Young Adult £14 | Junior £8 | Family £72 |
Senior = Born 2001 or earlier
Young Adult = Born 2002 to 2006
Junior = Born 2007 or later
Family = Living at same address
Both options include public liability insurance cover and cheaper entry to many events within Scotland.
The main difference between the two options is that the SOA cheaper option is suitable if you only want to orienteer locally. Juniors recoup the membership cost by attending just two events within the year.
The BOF option is more expensive but gives access to benefits such as inclusion in the Ranking system and cheaper entry to events throughout the UK.
You can join ELO & SOA initially and upgrade your membership to BOF later if you wish.
Here are some of the benefits you gain from joining ELO …
- ELO plans to stage around 15 events across East Lothian in 2027 – details on our Events page and on the BOF event diary
- For these events the entry fee is cheaper for members
- You also get reduced entry fees for events organised by other orienteering clubs in Scotland
- Junior members can join an extensive programme of coaching and training events organised locally (East of Scotland) and across the whole of Scotland
- Junior members receive an ELO T shirt after completing five events (so get your record card signed up at each event)
- ELO will pay your entry for events where you are running for the club. These include the CompassSport Trophy in February and the Scottish Relay Championships in May. These have a relaxed atmosphere and more members taking part means we can enter balanced teams
- You are eligible to become an ELO club Champion by winning your category at a designated event.
