TAC Connection - Recruiting Season, Summer Blowout Sale, and More!

TAC Connection

August 3rd, 2022

A periodic communication to our Scouting Families

Camp Avantura BSA

Over 100 Scouts are soaking up the sun and surf at our residence camp in Croatia! Between merit badge courses for all sorts of water-based activities, they are also finding time to meet Scouts from other Troops and enjoy a long-term camping experience. It's great to be back at camp!

Recruitment Season is Coming!

Soon it will be time to welcome new Scouts in your town. How will new families find you? Recruitment fliers are one way. Emails are another. An information table at your school or public spot is great. Having your Scouts in their uniforms is great too. Each unit in TAC also has access to a personalized QR code or a recruitment web link that you can put on fliers, include in emails, or place in social media. Need your link? The unit Key 3 can find it on the Invitation Manger link in their my.scouting.org account, or we have a map and list of all signup links in TAC.

Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) and Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced on July 22, 2022 that they have entered into an agreement to

end the ongoing trademark infringement litigation between the two parties.

Both organizations are looking forward to focusing on their respective missions to serve youth. The agreement is subject to approval by the Court overseeing BSA’s bankruptcy proceedings.

End of Summer Blowout Sale!

The Normandy Camporee earlier this year was a huge success, with thousands of participants. To commemorate the event, we had patches, t-shirts and other items. We still have some of those items left in stock and would like to see them all gone by the end of summer. All short sleeve t-shirts are now on sale with discounts up to 25% off the original price.

Order yours today…… while supplies last. https://councilstuff.com/802?item=293598

We all need a T-shirt that is great for those Scouting activities.
