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