The St. Andrew's Society of the River Plate is a non-profit organization founded 1888, that raises funds for charitable causes, through the promotion and preservation of Scottish cultural activities and traditions.

The Society keeps alive Scottish culture and traditions by fostering a sense of Scottish roots and a common identity within a Scottish-Argentine community by the creation of opportunities for the practice and enjoyment of Scottish music, song, dance, poetry, customs, art, games and all other activities related to Scotland's cultural heritage and history, within the community and with our Argentine hosts and friends. To achieve this, the Society promotes and organizes enjoyable social and sporting events, meetings, gatherings, dances and parties. The Society's educational objectives are fulfilled by organizing festivals and competitions and awarding prizes to participants of different ages.

St. Andrew's Society of the River Plate also strives to contribute to the community in which we live through donations to charitable and welfare organizations in Argentina. The Society additionally maintains contact and liaison with our sister Societies in South America and throughout the world.
