C-ScOT - The Campaign for a Scottish Olympic Team

Website: http://www.c-scot.org

“Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole, the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending Sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.” The Olympic Charter

C-ScoT has been set up by ordinary Scottish sports fans to ensure that the Olympic philosophy, can be harnessed; to bring maximum and enduring benefit to Scottish sport, Scotland’s people, its culture and its health; using the forthcoming focus on London’s hosting of the games as a catalyst.

C-ScoT wholly supports the Olympic ideal and the 2012 London Olympics in particular.

This is a positive campaign to maximise the impact these games can have on the people of Scotland, while adding to the celebration of sport that will take place in 2012.

C-ScoT is a non-political organisation which welcome support from any person, political party or organisation with Scotland’s sporting interests at heart.

According to a representative survey carried out on behalf of C-ScOT, 78% of Scots support the idea of Scotland having its own team by the London Olympics in 2012.
