Membership of SYHA gives you access to all of our hostels in
Scotland, and over 4500 hostels in 60 other countries around the
world.
Our adult individual membership costs just £9 per year (students
and juniors get free membership – details below), making it great

Support a Charity
As a registered charity, we rely on the support of our members. By
staying in our network, you are helping to ensure the survival of
remote and rustic hostels in some of the most beautiful parts of
the country.
A number of Members’ Groups have been set up, to enable
hostellers to pursue common interests such as walking,
mountaineering, wildlife-watching or photography.
As a member, you can choose to get more involved with the
direction of SYHA, by voting for Council and Board members, or by
standing for election yourself. And of course, we always welcome
volunteers who want to make a more direct contribution by helping
to maintain, develop and run our hostels.
