Our mascot is known as Scogui Bear. He was created by Elizabeth Neat for the 1982 Summer Rally (June 24th-26th) and was the clubs first official mascot. Members take it in turns to look after Scogui Bear, and take great care of him as he’s of great value to the club. Once you are a trusted member of Scogui, you may also be given the priviledge of taking care of him.
When SSAGO Clubs attend a Rally they often bring their mascots along, but there is a history of club mascots being stolen. The only way for a club mascot to be returned is for the club concerned to perform a forfeit of some sort. Scogui bear is too precious (and old!) to be stolen, so we have Boo Boo Bear as our stealable mascot at rallies.
