Bubba Goat is a special event passed around annually between the five orienteering clubs of the South: BOK, COK, FLO, GAOC and VOC.

VOC normally hosts the event on years divisible by 5 (2005, 2010, 2015, etc). Look for the Bubba Goat at the VOC again in 2020.

Bubba Goat rules are at the discretion of the meet director.

Our annual JROTC orienteering training camp was held at Camp McDowell (between Jasper and Double Springs, AL). It is a beautiful place to orienteer with some nice fields, and great canyons adjacent to the Bankhead National Forest and just south of the Sipsey Wilderness Area.

This was our 16th year for the camp and the 11th year at Camp McDowell. A total of 186 cadets competed on all the courses.

Weather: temperature started out around 30 degrees on Saturday morning and climbed to about 50 degrees
