Education (Ho’ike)
To seek knowledge by cultivating a foundation for learning
SASH strives to educate the general public and members about Scottish and Scottish-American heritage. In keeping with the traditional importance placed on education by Scots and Scottish-Americans, the Society may choose to assist and promote the public and private education of the people of our community. This includes our annual Scots-in-Hawaii education grant of $1,000 or more to a student entering or attending an accredited post secondary institution or vocational school.
Heritage
(Kuleana)
To take responsibility for sustainment and growth to thrive with a bias for action
SASH seeks to continue the traditions of dress, music, art, history, genealogy and language that make the Scottish and Scottish-American cultures distinct and have contributed so greatly to the wealth of humanity. They also seek to understand and contribute to its incorporation in Hawaii and the special relationship we enjoy here.
Community (Ho’olealea)
To celebrate by nourishing the body and soul through shenanigation
SASH works closely with like-minded Celtic groups to ensure our Scottish heritage is fully recognized and appropriately represented. We participate in the Waikiki St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the annual Scottish Festival & Highland Games in April, and many other Celtic cultural events.
