According to their official website, the criteria for membership in the SMC includes documented experience climbing in Scotland, in all seasons, over various types of terrains, with 50 or more ascents over 3,000 feet (910 m).

The application encourages participation in SMC projects or charities as well as a list of personal contributions to the arts and sciences.
