Congratulations to all those units who have successfully registered for Klondike 2022. Thank you for making this a fully booked event. We are excited to see you all on MLK weekend in January. Please look out for upcoming emails with more details about this event and what you will need to bring for your stay at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre.

Regrettably we are unable to accept any further registrations for Klondike but hope to see all our TAC units in April at the Normandy Camporee https://scoutingevent.com/802-NormandyCamporee2022.

The ORF Peace Light Festival of the Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs will take place on 11 December 2021, at 2 pm in the Salzburg Cathedral, Domplatz, 5010 Salzburg Austria. The Austrian Scouting Association is very glad that the COVID-19 situation has improved since last year and they are looking forward to meeting as many delegations as possible in Salzburg.

The motto for this year is “Sow Peace – Harvest Justice” – James 3, 13 – 18.

The head of the BSA/TAC delegation is Mike Healy.

Please check the TAC Website for more information and country specific links to

host nation Scouting authorities.

The Medicine merit badge focused on the “doctor” side of human health care. As medical fields expanded, Scouts showed interest in learning about other areas of human health care and medical support. The BSA has created a single merit badge to teach Scouts about dozens of health care professions/vocations. through the Health Care Professions merit badge.

This new merit badge will replace the Medicine merit badge in November. Scouts currently working on the Medicine merit badge will be allowed to continue working on it, but after December 31, 2021, Scouts may not begin working on the superseded Medicine merit badge.

After a two-year gap, TAC will host a National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) course in Grafenwohr Germany, July 10-16, 2022. NYLT is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops.

Course Director Andrew Wright and Course Senior Patrol Leader Josiah Richardson will lead the 2022 course. Andrew is the TAC Outdoor Ethics Advocate, a Leave No Trace Master Educator, and an Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 184, Mayflower District. Josiah is a Life Scout in Troop 112 in Paris and Crew 802, serving as a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, and NYLT Staff member.

Registration for staff and participants will open soon. Please go to the TAC NYLT

page for more information and updates.
