The National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) was launched at the Royal Institute of Navigation in 1994. The scheme operates in the United Kingdom and is a personal performance, non-competitive series of map reading and navigation awards for all ages.
The scheme operates both an adult and junior series of awards. The junior awards (Junior Navigation Star Awards) and the adult National Navigation Awards both have three levels of qualification (Bronze, Silver and Gold) with the junior Gold level leading in to the adult Bronze award, allowing for natural progression of children into the main scheme.
