TAC Duty to God Survey
The new TAC Religious Relationships Committee would like to hear from you! We invite you to help us assess the current state of religious/spiritual Scout offerings in TAC, identify key persons and programs, connect Scouts interested in their religious emblems and programs, and find people deserving of recognition for their promotion of a Scout's Duty to God (however understood).
Save the Date! Scouters Virtual Conference and University of Scouting - March 27, 2021
Mark your calendars for the week leading up to 27 March 2021 as we prepare to roll out both the Scouters Virtual Conference and University of Scouting! Every Scout deserves well trained leaders. We are preparing multiple tracks of training for both new Scouters; wise, experienced Scouters; as well as older youth leaders.
We're recruiting leaders from around the world to share their experiences and provide world class training. If you are interested in helping, please send us an email at edge4scouting@gmail.com. We need both instructors and discussion facilitators. Prior Trainers' EDGE or virtual classroom/meeting experience highly desired.
More details to follow in the coming weeks!
Cub Scout Day Camp School Offering
Transatlantic Council wants to expand the number of Day Camps for our Cub Scouts, and we need certified directors to do so. TAC will host a virtual Cub Scout National Camp School in February! The course consists of self-study, a February 13th session and two additional sessions on the 20th and 21st.
If you are interested in being a Day Camp Director or Day Camp Program Director in TAC, the council will cover the $130 course fee.
Your employer may match your gift or make a contribution for your service
Many corporate employers will match your financial contribution to qualified organizations. The Transatlantic Council (TAC) qualifies in programs administered in US dollars and under US tax law. Your gift to the Friends of Scouting campaign may be matched 1:1, 2:1 or even 3:1 depending on company policy.
Likewise, some corporations want to support the organizations where their employees volunteer their time..... so companies have established "dollars for doers" and other such programs.
Check with your HR or Employee Relations Department to see if your employer provides such support. TAC has received matching gifts from corporations such as Adobe, Bloomberg, ExxonMobil, Microsoft, Oracle, Pacific Life, VISA and others.
Service Center / Program Supply Center Calendar
