Mountaineering Scotland has now published the new strategy for 2022-25. Shaped in consultation with members, staff, key partner organisations and the wider mountaineering community, the strategy outlines the vision and values of our organisation and the outcomes we hope to achieve over the next three years.
There has been a desire to take a different approach to our strategy than in previous years, to make it more accessible, whilst ensuring that it meets the needs of Mountaineering Scotland and our partnership with sportscotland. Our new approach centres on four strategic pillars – Representing, Protecting, Inspiring and Developing.
