We monitor and review major planning applications and act upon major access matters but don't have the resources to know about everything which might impact on Scotland's mountains and mountain goers.
We are grateful to our members for being our eyes and ears when it comes to reporting access issues, informing us of unsuitable planning proposals or poorly-built hill tracks, and updating us on the status of birds nests on and around climbing crags.
If you would like to help us monitor planning or access issues for a particular region or have other expertise in this area we could benefot from, please get in touch.
We are looking for outgoing, friendly and reliable individuals to represent Mountaineering Scotland, raise awareness and sign up new members at events including mountain film festivals, talks, winter safety lectures, outdoor shows and in retail stores.
If you are able to commit to 3-4 hours at weekends or weekday evenings and would like to get more involved in supporting us, we would love to hear from you. Training and ongoing support will be provided.
If you are a keen climber, climbing spectator, retired climber or parent of a climber, you might be interested in volunteering to help out at our climbing competitions and youth-focused climbing clubs.
We organise a calendar of climbing competitions (youth, adult and paraclimbing) each year. With over 100 competitors at some comps, we rely on volunteers to assist with a wide range of tasks, from welcome desk to judging to belaying.
We also work with youth climbing clubs in every region of Scotland, helping to give young people the opportunity to develop their indoor and outdoor climbing skills. Again, adult involvement is vital and we offer training and coaching to our volunteers.
Staff in our busy Perth office would welcome some volunteer support with a variety of member services and communications activity, including admin, marketing, website and research tasks.
This could be an interesting role for someone who would like to gain skills and experience in customer services or PR or would like to give something back and offer us their time, knowledge and expertise.
