Developments in Single Pitch and Mountain Leader Awards Reviews are now complete for the Mountain Leader (ML) and Single Pitch Award (SPA) resulting in very few changes to the basic syllabus but a range of developments in the guidance notes.
The Scottish Mountain Leader Training Board was set up in the
1960’s under the auspices of the Scottish Sports Council
to oversee to the administration of the Mountain Leader Award
in Scotland. In 1965 the Winter Mountain Leader Award was established
and the SMLTB took on the responsibility of administering that
award as well. In 1997 the Board became independent from the
Scottish Sports Council, then sportscotland, and its office moved
to its present location in Glenmore.
Since then the SMLTB has changed its name to Mountain Leader
Training Scotland and become a Company Limited by Guarantee and
recognized as a Scottish Charity. It now administers the Mountain
Leader Award, the Single Pitch Award, the Climbing Wall Award, the Walking Group Leader
Award and the Winter Mountain Leader Award in Scotland.

MLTS is repsonsible for all aspects of these schemes, from registration to quality control. Award courses in Scotland are run by approved course providers who are moderated on a regular basis to ensure parity of standards. MLTS works closely with the other home nations and co-ordinates with these bodies and others such as the Mountaineering Councils and both voluntary and professional organisations to ensure harmonisation of the schemes throughout the UK.
