The Ark-La-Tex Orienteering Society (ALTOS) is a non profit Club operating under established By Laws and dedicated to the promotion of the sport of What is Orienteering in the Ark-La-Tex area. Our goal is to provide  Orienteering for the Young  as well as for the not so young. We are headquarters at Shreveport/Bossier City, (Map) Louisiana (USA). The terrain in this area is characterized by wet land areas, rolling hills, erosion features, and clearings. Our meets are conducted in area parks and the Garland Scout Ranch.  We used the beautiful forested part of the Barksdale Air Force Base before 9-11 but have not used it since.  We look forward to being there again - when security concerns permit. The Orienteering season is from September to April although activities are conducted throughout the year. You can check into the Motel situation by clicking here.

 So, if you are looking for a  lifetime sport , a part time activity that is mentally and  physically challenging, or a better way to stay healthy, come try Orienteering. You might just like it.
