About Us
BUSAG have weekly meetings and socials, with anything from visiting new places or doing new things to eating lots of good food. We serve all universities in Birmingham (there are quite a few!) but are based at UoB. Many of us maintain or start volunteering in the local area too!
Our club
BUSAG welcomes students from all Birmingham Universities to join our little bit of SSAGO. We have a wide variety of weekly meetings and socials for everyone to get involved in. Throughout the year we have a good presence at our regional Freshers Camp, national Rallies and Ball. We have a great partnership with local Scouting and Guiding, bringing volunteering and other opportunities to our members.
You can get in contact with us through any of our media outlets below, we'd love to hear from you!

Our mascots
Scarface (non-stealable) - Our main mascot (the largest pictured, with the yellow face) dates back to 1975, when he was purchased at a Rally and now belongs to the current Chair at any time. He is currently on his fifth face and is quite old so he is not stealable! He is the big one in the middle of the photo. Scarface also has a mascot's mascot Freddo from Chocolate Rally 2019, and a crocheted goose from Goose Ball 2025 (also non-stealable).
Pangaea (non-stealable) - During a cupboard clear out in 2020 this little womble was found in a pan! She has an uncertain background so she will be joining our members on their exciting trips! She's the smallest mascot pictured, wears a little brown hat, and is very old and fragile
The rest of the Wombles in the picture! (stealable) - Each committee member now has their own womble! These include Orinoco, Tobermory, Alderney, Bungo, Madame Cholet, Tomsk and Great Uncle Bulgaria
Stepney (sadly not pictured) was lost on the way to Midlands Freshers Camp 2024 but is still technically stealable if you can find him! He's from the same release of cuddly wombles as our Alderney, GUB, Bungo, Orinoco and Tomsk
