Wearing of Clan Tartans – What is a clan? A Family. What are Troops? A Scout Family. Some Clans, as well as Troops, express their unity by possession of common emblems or symbolic colors (Class B’s for instance). At our Highland Games, we encourage your Clan/Troop who wear Tartans, whether they are kilts, armbands, t-shirts, Scottish Hats, etc.

Please Bring: Food and drinks for your unit, Bicycle helmets (if you have them) Work gloves Highland Fun Spirit!

Creation of your unique Kilt/Uniform competition:  
Use your Highland-themed fabric to create a unique Uniform or your Troop Clan theme. Each member of your Troop should have their theme matching the rest of the Troop.      
Flag creation competition:  
The flag competition requires each clan to create a five-foot pole with a customized flag matching your Clan theme. What has worked in the past for units was to give the flag to a single member of the clan. This then becomes their responsibility and honor to bear the flag for their clan. The flag should measure no more than 3 feet by 2 feet.
