This year’s Summer SpecTACular has come to an end and the Transatlantic Council would like to thank all the volunteers who helped make it a success. Congratulations to the 78 Scout BSA youth and 41 Cub Scouts from across 3 councils who took part in this year’s event learning new skills and earning merit badge and rank achievements. Additionally, 18 Scouters are newly qualified as NCAP Short-term Camp Administrators and will help the council continue to deliver high quality Scouting programs to all those we serve.

It is vital that we take the time to recognize very deserving volunteers for the time and talent that they share across the TAC landscape. The following are awards which are not earned but are awarded through a selection process approved by committees of volunteers.

Please take time to nominate someone you think is deserving of this recognition. TAC should receive all award nominations by July 16 via thomas.jansen@scouting.org. Here are the awards with descriptions and nomination forms.

o Silver Beaver Award

o NESA National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award

o BSA Council Alumnus of the Year Award

We expect all recognitions to be presented on Saturday October 9 at the Council

Recognition Dinner—as part of the Scouters Annual Conference - Courtyard

by Marriott Brussels.
