Campaign for a Scottish Olympic Team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campaign for a Scottish Olympic Team (C-ScOT) is a pressure group in Scotland, established in 2005, which aims to persuade politicians to establish a team to represent Scotland at the Olympic Games.
C-ScOT commissioned a question in the regular omnibus survey by Market Research UK which found that 78% of respondents answered yes to the question "Would you like to see Scotland send its own Olympic Team to London 2012?" Over 1000 adults, aged 16 or over, were interviewed between 12-18 August, 2005[1].
It claims that a Scottish National Olympic Committee could meet all the criteria set down by the Olympic Charter.
