JROTC, offered as a high school program, blends the curriculum perspective of high-school orienteering with the hierarchical structure of Boy Scouts. In this environment, orienteering typically serves two goals:
- It is one of several structured units and confidence-building exercises that cadets cycle through during the school year to gain a variety of leadership experiences.
- For those who thrive on this type of challenge, an Orienteering Team provides the opportunity to compete against the best in a variety of venues:
- A student league, if the local club has one
- Club or national events, if they are nearby
- National championships, either school-focused or JROTC-specific (NJROTC Champs)
Your local club will be able to help you get involved, find yours and reach out!
