About Us
Scottish Adventure Activities Forum
SAAF provides a forum for the exchange and sharing of information and views relating to the Adventurous and Outdoor Activity sector in Scotland.
SAAF currently consists of 16 members, drawn from a wide range of outdoor backgrounds within the commercial, voluntary and public sectors. The membership covers Tourism, Higher Education, Youthwork and Outdoor Learning.
Members are appointed in a personal capacity and on a voluntary basis – no fees or expenses are paid.
They are expected to bring to SAAF their own experience, knowledge, and judgement, but at the same time they are understood as coming from broadly defined “constituencies” with which they are expected to keep in touch, and of whose concerns and interests they are expected to be aware.
If you are interested in nominating someone please contact SAAF on: chair@saaf.scot
