How to Join BearScots

There are two ways to join the BearScots group, either download a membership form from here, or complete your membership request online using the form below.
Membership of Bearscots entitles you to:

A welcome membership pack that includes your Bearscots membership card, and a variety of collectible badges and tags. This year, the pack includes a BearScots 2008 Enamel badge, a BearScots sew on patch and a BearScots pen. Priority access to our annual Bears in the Hills event, which this year was at Glen Carron Lodge in the lovely countryside of West Ross in the Highlands. Priority booking of tickets for the annual Bearfest in October. Discount at Steamworks Sauna. Join the Bears once a month for some wet fur fun. Details on our website. An exclusive free invite to the annual Bears BBQ held at Honorary Members’s house in South Queensferry during August. An invitation to join members of the Bearscots Committee in the GAYSCOTS March to be held in Glasgow this year, where we will be having a recruting stall in the party grounds afterwards. 10% discount at Edinburgh’s Celtic Craft Centre on all goods, gifts, clothes and tartans Special discount at several Bear-friendly Bed and Breakfast hotels in Edinburgh – always useful for unwanted relatives and the overspill at Bearfest.

Unlike our English counterparts Bearscots is a national organisation: and our costs are reflective of that. You will probably have noticed that our annual subs have been increased this year to £7.50 for a single membership. This decision was taken at December’s AGM, but done so in order to develop the group’ profile into a vibrant organisation, and to be able to reach out to Bears (and their admirers) in the whole of the country. We are pleased, however, to announce a new Joint Membership of £10 for two people living at the same address, and a new full Overseas Membership for £7.50.

If you have any issues regarding your membership please do not hesitate to contact our membership secretary on membership@bearscots.org.uk or ask any of the committee at any of the regular events.
