New membership must be ratified by SCRA council. For the first year of membership only, a pro rata rate is available on membership fees, depending on how much of the current year remains.
All individual memberships cost £35 per calendar year. A discount is available pro rata for that joining part way through the year. A £5 discount is applicable each year to members that renew before the end of January. The following categories of membership are available, and you can apply online to become a member:
Full Membership
Holder is entitled to full voting rights, discounted training, to receive SCRAmble and SCRibble, direct e-mail updates, full access to SCRA-Online including members only pages. Open to anyone employed as a Countryside Ranger (or similar profession that is deemed to be closely allied to the Ranger profession).
Supporter
Membership available for anyone that would like to join but does not wish to become a full member. Supporters have the same benefits as full members but do not have voting rights.
Team Membership
This membership level is designed for Ranger Service employers – Local Authorities, National Trust for Scotland, FCS, private estates etc. Entitles an organisation to join and receive full individual membership (as per Full Membership) for all Rangers named on the application. Team membership therefore provides the same voting and access rights as full individual membership. Memberships are non-transferable if a Ranger leaves the post.
Teams of 1 – 3 = £110
Teams of 3 – 6 = £180
Teams of 6 – 15 = £300
Teams of 15 or more = £500
When applying for a Team membership please select the appropriate category on the online registration form and SCRA will contact the employer for verification.
Affiliated Organisations (£85)
Like a Supporter, this membership is designed for Organisations who wish to support the work of SCRA, but not necessarily participate actively – may include FE and HE Colleges, other Educational Establishments or other Associations. Affiliated Organisations will receive a copy of SCRAmble to the registered email address.
Ranger Manager
It is anticipated that prospective mentors will fall into this category. Ranger Managers have the same voting and access rights as Full Members.
Honorary Membership
In the gift of council, for those who have contributed to the development of the profession over a period of time.
Non members - subscription to SCRAmble only
You may request copies of SCRAmble, which will be sent electronically to a registered email address. The cost is £4 per edition or £10 per annum (3 editions).
