Active members are engaged with the daily operations of SCOPE, thus why we call them “actives”. Actives work in small committees that are responsible for a specific element of SCOPE. For example, arranging a variety of different SCOPE events & trips. Check out the different committees.

Passive members, on the other hand, is a collective used term for all the other members (paid or unpaid membership) with a user account on SCOPE sites. These members can participate in general scope events such as parties, workshops, lectures and trips, but they play no organisational role within the association.
