Showmen's Shrine Club (Special)
Acting is the major talent of the Nobles of the Egypt Shrine Ritual Team. When the Oscars are distributed in Los Angeles Shriners Auditorium each year, a terrible injustice is done.

As of the Spring Class of 1998, non-Shriners will be able to see the show. Many of the ladies are interested in what code of ethics a Shriner lives by. The Ritual Team has many openings and one of the Nobles in that group will gladly coach new comers. The cost of joining this unique group is affordable. No equipment or uniforms are needed, everything you need is provided; at no charge. Being a part of this Special Unit does not effect your membership in any other Club or Unit.

Director's Staff Unit
Every new Noble that has entered the Shrine has met the Director's Staff. That group was responsible for conducting the second section of our Shrine Ceremonials. In addition to their responsibilities at the Ceremonials, the Director’s Staff of Egypt Shrine is extremely active in all of the Shrine activities. Several Elected and Appointed Officers of the Shrine are members of the Director’s Staff making this Unit one of the most visible groups in our ranks. They ride in our parades on a float which features one of our Hospital Children. The Directors Staff has several social activities which are well attended by all of the Nobles of Egypt Shrine. They include dances, picnics, golf tournaments and a barbecue dinner (a.k.a. Corn Boil) which features all of the boiled corn you can eat. The Director’s Staff was the first Unit to hold their own convention where Staff members from all over North America convened and held competition in their specialty. What a great way to see the country as well as getting to gain new friends all over the continent. The Shrine Directors Convention was held in Tampa, Florida in the year 2000.

Fun-N-Frolic Unit (Clowns)
If you like the smell of grease paint and the laughter of children, then you will love being a clown. The Egypt Shrine Fun & Frolic Unit are all a bunch of clowns - literally! And they love every minute of it. One of our favorite sayings is “Everyone is a clown¦ But, only a few of us have the courage to put on the makeup!”. Our Nobles can be found hard at work at the Circus, in parades, at our Shriners Hospital located in Tampa, Florida and many other local events that we have been asked to attend. There is never a Shrine event where there isn’t a group of clowns capturing the attentions of the children present with their balloon tying and fun making. The unit holds an annual Oktoberfest in the Unit Activities Building each October, when else? They serve German food, German music and copious amounts of the output of German brew meisters. Each of the clowns have adopted a “clown” name, such as “Smurf”, “Waki the Wizard”, “Nickels”, and “MooCow” to name just a few.

The Legion of Honor has a very active national organization and our members look forward to getting together each year and reviving close friendships with other Legion members from Shrines all over North America. They have competition with other Legion of Honor groups and are respected for consistently walking away with the trophies. The annual Legion of Honor dance held in the Unit Activity Building is well attended by the Nobles of the Shrine and is always the highlight of the Shrine social calendar. Prerequisite for joining:
Midget Motors Unit
Getting a close working knowledge of the road is a certainty when you are a member of the World Champion Midget Motor Unit of Egypt Shrine. The highlight of this motorized unit is unquestionably the autos that they drive. They are miniature white replicas of a 1953 dirt track race car. They have been dubbed the white mice by outsiders and we know the members don't object to the name as long as you smile when you say it. The handling of these little dynamos is easy to learn and soon after you join this group you will get to compete with the every best. Every new Noble attending the festivities of the second section gets a whiff of the handiwork of the chefs of the Midget Motors. They cook up a mean breakfast where all of the smart members of the Shrine go to get their start for that day. Prerequisite for joining - Must be a member of Egypt Shrine and enjoy having fun.

We were the 2008-2009 undefeated International Champions of Shrinedom and have won every Florida Shrine Association competition for the past 5 years!
Motor Patrol Unit
Oriental Band
When the term the “other band” is used it refers to the Oriental Band, a group of Egypt Shrine Nobles that dress and play Arabic Disney’s “It’s a Small World” or maybe “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” However, when you hear the Oriental Band perform these tunes, there is no doubt that the songs originated in the Middle East and were once used to soothe skittish camels on a long caravan in the desert. Like most of the Shrine Units, the Oriental Band travels and relaxes with their ladies along side of them. This makes for a strong closely knit warm fellowship. We have some mighty good teachers, in case you are worried about not playing an instrument. In a short time you will be playing as well as one of the finest playing Oriental Bands in the country. When you compare our sounds, our superiority becomes clear. Prerequisite for joining - Must be a member of Egypt Shrine. The business meeting is on the first Wednesday of the month. Band practice is conducted on the 3rd, 4th and 5th Wednesday’s of the month. Location is at the Oriental Band Room. The cost for a beginning member is $35.00 annual dues and a small outlay for uniforms. The only special skill needed is to enjoy people. We’ll teach you the rest. If you have any questions or are interested in becoming a member, contact us by E-mail or come to the Unit Building on any Wednesday.
Past Masters Unit
The past masters unit is the link that connects the shrine to the symbolic lodge as it is composed of shrine-masons who have served in the most respected position to which a mason may be elected by the brethren of his lodge. We were chartered on August 15, 1972. The past masters unit has a degree team and is always ready to exemplify degrees at the request of symbolic lodges. This team operates under the direction of right worshipful _____________ who is past district deputy grand master and present district instructor of the 22nd Masonic District. We have two social activities each year to which we invite our wives and the widows of deceased members of our unit. The first of these is a banquet which we schedule for the springtime. These are held at one of the fine restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. In the fall we have a steak cookout at the shrine picnic area known as Hooper's Hollow. We meet at 7:30 p.m. on the first Monday of each month except July and August. Our meetings are held in the shrine club room which is just south of the oasis.

Pharaohs Unit
The Pharaohs were chartered in 1969 with 42 members, some of whom are still active today. The Pharaohs have always been active in Egypt Temple functions, many holding high Temple Appointments indicating the quality of the Pharaohs membership. The Pharaohs are a motorcycle unit, which originally competed with Honda 50's. We presently ride black Harley Davidson Police Road Kings (FLHPI). In competition precision drill, the Pharaohs team competes at the Florida Shrine convention and the Imperial Shrine convention in cities like Jacksonville, Chicago, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Boston. The Pharaohs eagerly look forward to these trips with our extended Shrine Family! The unit has been an active participant in Temple parades since we were chartered.

Provost Guard Unit
Many of the members of the Egypt Shrine Provost Guard have experience in law enforcement however, that is not a requirement for membership. The Provost Guard is the Potentate's police force. No, they do not investigate missing food from the buffet line; they spend their time establishing a smooth traffic flow at Shrine events and parades and keeping order when requested. The Nobles of this group have learned how to do a job and have a great deal of fun doing their job. Every year this unit holds a dance which is well attended by the Shrine Membership. There is no doubt that this is the most pleasant group of cops in the area. Prerequisite for joining - Must be a member of Egypt Shrine.

Our Unit room reflects the numerous trophies our competition team has brought back over the years for excellence in both the competitive drill and obstacle course victories. We drive replicas of the 1910 Ford Tin Lizzies. Each Noble owns his equipment and is responsible for its maintenance. Our parade inventory of cars include a Tin Lizzie Flag car and a remodeled Tin Lizzie Wrecker/Tow Truck. Any Noble who wishes, may visit our Unit room, located in the Egypt Shrine Unit Building.
