Membership

We are an all-volunteer organization run by member volunteers who manage the organization and host tents at games and festivals. This allows us to keep our membership dues low. As a member of CFSNA®, you will join a dedicated group of individuals who cultivate among our members and descendants the pride and spirit of our Scottish heritage. Member benefits include educational opportunities, member-only discounts and activities, and an opportunity to meet others with similar heritage and interests. We hope you will join and work with us to allow us to participate in as many of the Scottish and Celtic events as possible.
