Elections and Appointments
National Merit Badge awards The National Merit Badge Awards aim to recognise orienteers who achieve a consistent orienteering standard relative to their age-group peers and to be a fund raising activity for Australian Teams to World Championships. An orienteer can qualify for a Badge when three Badge credits have been earned within a two-year period. Badge credits can be earned at all Championship and Badge events, including AUS 3-Days.
At the Orienteering Australia Annual General Meeting in April the OA Board was formally discharged from its responsibilities and the elections and appointments of officers for 2008 took place.
