The Relative Hills Society welcomes new members. YourĀ membership fee depends on whether you are currently a member of any national mountaineering body since the annual fee is made up of two parts:
- The RHSoc fee (Ā£10).
- The Mountaineering Scotland Club fee (Ā£20).
If you're already a member or a national mountaineering body such as Mountaineering Scotland (MS), Mountaineering Ireland (MI), or the British Mountaineering Council (BMC), either individually or via another Club, then you will not need to pay the Mountaineering Scotland fee since they already have the liability cover required by Mountaineering Scotland.

The fees for 12 months RHSoc Ordinary membership payable in January 2022 are either:
- Ā£30.00Ā -Ā for non-members of a national mountaineering body
