Our strength lies in our membership who volunteer to run our sport at all levels. Most of the work is done in our clubs where volunteers welcome new members and ensure their clubs have a sustainable future.
Our three Areas - East, North and West - are the equivalent of the County sporting structure in England. They administer at a level between club and Home Nation and provide opportunities for competing at Area level within Scotland and against the other Home Nations and English Counties.
Scottish Archery provides a broad base of services for its members and clubs across Scotland to help develop the sport including nurturing our volunteers in the clubs and those that deliver events as well as our judges and coaches.
The Board currently has nine directors including an independent Chair and three directors from outside archery. Our board can vary between 4 to 9 directors. Each director is responsible for overseeing an area of the sport in relation to the strategic plan. The Board meets every other month and alternates meetings between face to face and conference calls.
