SQUAD TOURS

The WMJS aims to offer weekends away and a summer tour most years, giving squad members the opportunity to train in high quality terrain in other parts of the UK or abroad.

Each year the squad sends a team to compete at the Junior Inter Regional Championships.



In July 2022, six members of the WMJS squad joined members of the Welsh squad on tour in sunny Scotland.

Every November the Junior Regional Orienteering Squads (JROS) organise a weekend of training for 15 and 16 year olds in the Lake District.

In the past every even year (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012,2014) in the School Summer holidays the squad has been to Sweden for a week’s training.
