02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Bob Scott's Bothy Association is basically a maintenance organisation dedicated to maintaining the bothy and it's environs. Our members make regular visits, carry out inspections, rectify minor issues, remove any discarded rubbish in and around the bothy and organise work parties to deal with any major problems. We also support other bothies with the same ethos as Bob Scott's. Our members assist at other work parties and we sometimes give material support.
