 Ambassadors

The Ambassadors are a parade unit with limousines and claim
to be a fun unit to be a part of.  I believe it!
At the Shrine Circus last year I watched as they tried to
see how many clowns they could get into one of their limousines.


Arab Patrol

The Arab Patrol is an excellent unit to belong to for someone
who wants to be active and promote the Shrine and the
Shrine Hospitals.  We operate a miniature train and give rides
at special events and parades.


Band

The Band provides music at the circus, parades and various other
Shrine functions.  We also perform "A Musical Salute to America". 


Bowlers

The Nobles in the Bowlers Unit enjoy the best of both worlds.  They support Za-Ga-Zig and the Shrine Hospitals for Children and enjoy
the fellowship and competition of bowling while doing it.


Camel Patrol

The Camel Patrol is a very unique unit.  In fact, they are the 
only unit in all of Shrinedom that keeps and parades camels.
Check them out, they're always looking for new members!


Chanters

We have fun and enjoy fellowship and song.  It just doesn't get any better than that!  If you have some Choral Skill - check us out.


Clowns

It has been said that being a Clown is the best paying job in the Shrine.  The Clowns are the most visible ambassadors of the Shrine because of their costumes and antics.  They attract attention everywhere they go and are seen by thousands of people each year.

The Clowns are currently seeking new members


 Cyclones

 The Cyclones are a very active parade unit with 50"s type
Indy cars.  They are a very socially oriented unit.


 Diplomats

With their pearl white, Toyota Solara convertibles, we are simply the best looking parade unit in Za-Ga-Zig.  We have fun too! 


 Directors Staff

The Directors Staff receives new candidates for the Shrine and help them through the initiation.  As such, we are one of the first contacts that a new noble experiences. 


 Fire Fighters

The Fire Fighters provide emergency medical services at 
ceremonials, the Shrine Circus and other functions.


Greeters

The Greeters, like the name implies, greet members and guests
at various Shrine functions.  


Isettas

The Isettas are a motorized parade unit named after the unique cars that use.  We participate in 25 - 30 parades a year and operate in the 
belief that a successful unit should be fun, active and harmonious!


 Karousel Kut-Ups


 Legion of Honor

The Legion of Honor exists to perpetuate the memory of those who died in the service of our country and to foster a spirit of patriotism for this greatest nation on earth.
Membership in the Legion Of Honor is limited to Nobles of the Mystic Shrine who are serving in, or have been honorably discharged from, the Armed Forces of their country. This includes service in the Guard, Reserves, Merchant Marines, and Coast Guard.


 Mini-Bike Patrol

We are a motorized parade unit.  We are the guys in the Keystone Cops outfits on the mini-bikes and are seen by thousands of people each year at parades in communities across the state.


 Mobile Nobles

We are not a parade unit but we are always on the move and
always working for Za-Ga-Zig, the Shrine and of course our
Shrine Hospitals for Children.  


 Oriental Band


 Provost Guard

The Provost Guard was instituted to guard the Potentate and to assure the safety and welfare of Za-Ga-Zig's Nobility. We perform security and traffic duties at Ceremonials, parades, conventions and other Shrine functions.  We also participate in handgun and shotgun competition shooting.


 Public Relations

If you like photography, graphic arts or writing, and would like to put your talent and ideas to work to promote the Shrine and work with other like minded Nobles, we encourage you to join the Public Relations Unit.


Sandrunners

The Sandrunners are a motorized parade unit that operates dune buggies.   “Looking good, having fun and helping kids”.  That’s a winning combination!


 Tin Lizzies


 Trike Patrol


Tux Brigade

Our unit has a an aura of class and dignity when we serve
the Shrine, Za-Ga-Zig and our Potentate.  We also have a 
heck of a lot of fun!
