YHOA Badge Scheme

The scheme is operational in all of the British Orienteering Federations regions, these are the details for the Yorkshire & Humberside Orienteering Association scheme only. 

The scheme is administered by Dorothy Smith

To qualify for a 'White' Badge, you need to complete 3 White Courses. It does not matter how long you take, as long as the course is completed.

For all other colours - Yellow, Orange, Red, Light Green, Green, Blue and Brown, you have to complete 3 courses and finish above the "Colour Line" within a two-year period.

The other "Colours" you may sometimes ( but very rarely ) encounter are Purple - a longer version of Orange / Red and VERY occasionally Black - a longer course than Brown, and almost exclusive to technical areas such as The Lakes, Scotland and Wales.

To claim your Badge send an S.A.E. to Dorothy Smith at 111a Westgate, Belton, Doncaster, DN9 1PY.

Please include the following information - Event venue, date, course, winner's time, your time.
