Great news for our Cub Scout Families! As COVID-19 restrictions begin to be relaxed in different areas, Scouting is returning to face to face activities. One of these activities include Cub Scout Day Camps. Day Camp is filled with fun activities where Cub Scouts have the opportunity to explore, learn, and complete rank requirements under the direction of a trained staff. It also helps Cubs get a start on their upcoming program year.

The Barbarossa District will host a Cub Scout Day Camp in August in Kaiserslautern from August 2 to August 5. The Mediterranean District is having a Day Camp in Vicenza Italy from August 11 to 14. Across the Transatlantic Council, there are plans afoot for other Day Camps in the fall in Qatar and Berlin in 2022, as well as Cub Scout Camping weekends in other districts. As plans are finalized and permissions are secured, watch the district‘s Facebook pages, TAC Nation, or check out dates on the Council’s online calendar for event updates!

In the fall of 2020, the Transatlantic Council launched its first online auction. More than $10,000 was raised in that first auction..... funds that have since been used to grow and support our Scout families throughout TAC.

We are now planning for the auction to be held this fall, which will close during the Scouters Annual Conference. Do you or someone you know have items that can be donated to the auction? The box of old patches in the back of the closet that you haven't looked at in years could need a new home.

If you have items to donate to the TAC Online Auction, please contact TAC-Accounting-802@scouting.org or Auction Chair, Rich Price.
