Badminton Scotland is the National Governing Body responsible for the development of the sport in Scotland. With a vision to be the biggest participation sport in Scotland, Badminton Scotland aims to bring people and communities together through badminton. They believe in the power of badminton to contribute to people's everyday lives and prioritise the health and wellbeing of all Scottish communities.

One of the core activities of Badminton Scotland is their commitment to promoting badminton as a sport for people of all ages. They offer support through schools programmes, age group coaching, and resources to guide individuals on how to play badminton. They also prioritise the safety and regulation of the sport, providing information on safeguarding.

Coaching development is another important aspect of Badminton Scotland's responsibilities. They offer information on coaching education and various coaching options to help individuals become better coaches or find a coach for their badminton needs. Coach membership, courses, funding, and other resources are available to support coaches in their development.

Badminton Scotland values the contribution of volunteers and works closely with Volunteer Scotland to develop a framework for volunteering within badminton. They aim to create volunteer-driven badminton initiatives throughout Scotland that are highly valued by communities and align with the goals of the volunteers.

The organisation is dedicated to widening access to badminton and encourages more people to participate, including individuals with disabilities. They provide information on disability badminton, including tournaments, events, clubs, and school carnivals focused on inclusivity.

Constituted clubs can become members of Badminton Scotland through the Club Membership programme. By joining, clubs gain access to a range of benefits and support from the organisation.
