SCDA Structure

SCDA is a community based organisation and operates through 24 District Commitees throughout Scotland. Geographically, these are grouped in four Divisions: Eastern, Highland, Northern and Western. At a national level SCDA is run by the General Council through several committees we employ 3 members of staff in the National Office for administration and arts development. You can also see a brief history of the SCDA along with information about past presidents, chairmen, honorary members and Scottish and British Final winners on our history page.
