The primary difference between clubs and units is that units typically have specialized roles in functions in parades, although clubs often have floats in parades as well. Units' officers have a military-like structure (captain, lieutenants, sergeants, etc.) while clubs have a president, vice presidents, and a board of directors. Both clubs and units have regular meetings, enjoy social events, participate in fundraisers throughout the year for our Shriners Hospitals for Children, and support their local communities throughout Oasis.

YES. Typically, our most active, engaged members in the Shrine are those who find a club and/or unit they enjoy and immediately become active and engaged.

Use the current Oasis Directory to locate the contact information for the officers of every Oasis Club and Unit. Reach out to the Club President, Unit Captain, or any other officer to express your interest to join.

Please use the map to locate club and unit physical addresses near your location. In the event that a specific club or unit physical address is not provided on the map, please contact a club or unit officer to inquire about their meeting location. Some clubs and units rotate their meeting locations while others have permanent buildings. You may also use the pinpoints on this map for convenient driving directions with your GPS.
