Although we are still in Winter and scraping the frost from our windshields many mornings in parts of TAC, our summer camp planning is heavily underway! Have you made your unit’s plans yet? Be sure to register your unit before the ‘early bird’ dates to get our special pricing for camp!

Now is the time to make your unit’s Summer camp plans. With two unique locations, the Transatlantic Council is ready to offer you an unparalleled Scouting experience. Head out to the Swiss Alps for a mountaintop experience at Camp Alpine or catch and ride the waves while basking in the sun on the coast of the Adriatic Sea at Camp Avantura BSA.

Both of the TAC Summer camps are taking registrations now. Don’t let your Scouts miss out on making memories to last a lifetime! https://tac-bsa.org/camping/

As part of the Normandy Camporee, Transatlantic Council will host a VIP Donor Reception on the evening of Friday April 8, 2022, for invited donors and sponsors who support TAC “Unparalleled Scouting”.

This will be a stand-up reception featuring D-Day history and local Normandy food and beverages at the famous Airborne Museum in the historic town of St. Mère Eglise, France.  https://www.airborne-museum.org/en/

You are invited to consider becoming a sponsor for the VIP Donor Reception.  Opportunities exist at $250, $500, $1,000, or more.

What is a Short-Term Camp? A short-term camp is any council-organized overnight camping program... where its agents provide the staffing and may provide program and food services. A trained Short-Term Camp Administrator is required for any such event.

How do I become a Short-Term Camp Administrator? Online courses are available through the National Service Center, designed to help prepare the participant to manage a short-term camp from planning and program development to staff recruitment to assessment. To sign up follow this link.
