National Navigation Award Scheme

"I wholeheartedly support the NNAS Young Navigator scheme as an excellent way of getting more youngsters to benefit from outdoor activities in a safe, fun and educational way." - Honorary President - Sir Chris Bonnington

The National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) is a personal performance, non-competitive, incentive scheme for all ages.

Training and Assessment courses use Harvey Maps of 1:25,000 or 1:40,000 scale, Ordnance Survey maps of 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 scale or orienteering maps of 1:10,000 or 1:15,000 scale.
