The Mascot Collection
The mascots for every SSAGO club
Possibly one of the stranger aspects of SSAGO is the existence of mascots! There are both national and club mascots, with each club having to declare at least one mascot that can be kidnapped.
Some clubs have more than one mascot, with older and more sentimental ones kept for memories. Many of the club mascots take the form of a cuddly toy.
The mascots listed on this page are kidnappable mascots, a little fun rivalry between SSAGO clubs. Mascots can be kidnapped at any time during a SSAGO event, although they may not be forcefully taken from a person looking after it. It may only be taken if the mascot is left un-attended or if handed over to someone accidentally.
Clubs or groups who have had their mascot kidnapped can get it back at the next opening or closing ceremony of a national rally (whichever ceremony comes first, i.e. if stolen on Friday night of rally it would be the opening ceremony, if stolen on Saturday night it would be the closing ceremony). Those who have kidnapped the mascot are responsible for setting a suitable forfeit for the club or group to carry out in order to get their mascot back.

We have 6 and a half mascots. We have 3 main mascots who are present at most of our events. Our stealable mascot is Tim the Giraffe (he/him, pictured on the right) named after our former founding president. Our un-stealable mascot is Leo the Lion (he/him, pictured in the middle), who can be found sporting a Newcastle University jumper. Also pictured is Armstrong, the mascot for SSAGOES to Space Rally, which we are hosting in Autumn 2025! He can be seen flying in his spaceship. The half mascot is Bjørn the Bear (he/him) who is looked after jointly with DUSAGG, and represents Viking Rally which we hosted alongside DUSAGG in November 2021! He can be found flaunting a SSAGO coloured shield and viking helmet! Now that Viking Rally is over, he's of historical significance, so can't be stolen. We also have Baloo (unstealable) , also known as Stor Bjørn, who is the Djungelskog bear (they/them, pictured at the back) for all those cuddling needs! Next up is Bagheera (unstealable) (they/them, pictured at the bottom); Baloo (unstealable) needs somewhere to rest their legs occasionally after all! These mascots do not attend events often due to being very large in size… so tend to live in the society stores guarding our equipment. Our mascots (or at least Sally & Leo, as the OGs) also have their own Instagram account over at @nussaggsallyandleo |
