The Glasgow Zionist Central Council was an organisation which came into existence after a 1912 decision of the Zionist Organisation.
- The revised statutes of the Zionist Organization passed by the Tenth Zionist Congress (1911) permitted the establishment of so-called Sonderverbaende (separate unions), in addition to the existing territorial organizations, on the condition that every Sonderverband numbered at least 3,000 shekel-buying members and that it professed special views on Zionist work. The Order of Ancient Maccabeans applied for this status, and though its claim was opposed by the English Zionist Federation, the order prevailed. In 1912 the Zionist Executive decided in favor of the order's status as Sonderverband on the condition that a Joint Zionist Council be formed, comprising representatives of both the order and the federation. In the 1930s, however, the order lost its special status.[1]
The Glasgow Council was mentioned in the Jewish Chronicle in 1926. It appears not to have been mentioned in the Chronicle again until 1988. In 1991 it was claimed by the organisation that it was 'set up' in 1984.
