Quantico Orienteering Club's History Orienteering
was incorporated into the curriculum of the Marine Corps Physical
Fitness Academy at Quantico, Virginia in the summer of 1967. Soon
thereafter Marines at Quantico from outside the Academy took up
orienteering primarily to form teams to compete against other military
services as well as in international military orienteering competitions.
In 1970, the Quantico orienteers organized into a club and included
interested parties from outside the base. Gradually the club evolved
into a community based organization and severed its official ties to the
Marine Corps Base, Quantico. It is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization. The club name remains because of its rich tradition as the
leader in the founding of the United States Orienteering Federation. Have a question? Just email us using our Contact Us Form.  QOC is a non-federal entity. It is not part of the Department of Defense or any of its components and it has no governmental status. |
