Members are drawn both from the Mountaineering Scotland membership and others with relevant expertise. We are grateful for the time, dedication, knowledge and support of all those who take part in our advisory groups, whose remit are shown below:

The purpose of this group is to oversee the development and implementation of our Equality Action Plan, with the aim of making Mountaineering Scotland a welcoming and inclusive membership organisation, reaching out to audiences who are currently under-represented in both the hills and our membership. It seeks to understand and overcome obstacles to participation and identify partners to help us us achieve our goals.
