New Council Shoulder Patch (CSP)
A new CSP is now available for your uniform wear. Since the geography of the Horizon District joined the Transatlantic Council in 2015, leaders and members have worn a CSP that set the foundation for our brand standard. The new version includes: a waving American flag, enhancements to the map, and the additional words "Central Asia" to better describe our council territory.
As an introductory special, a CSP Bundle is now available for $8.00. It includes the new CSP as well as the old CSP for your collection or trading.
The new CSP only will be available later in June.
New TAC and BSA Registration Fees
Transatlantic Council (TAC) and Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have worked to keep the Overseas Council and Membership fees as low as possible. Unfortunately, operating costs have continued to rise and COVID-19 has compounded the need to increase these fees to maintain our unparalleled Scouting programs.
To ensure the resources are available to deliver the promise of Scouting,
effective
1 August 2020, Transatlantic Council
will charge a pro-rated Overseas Council Fee of $4 a month for new youth and adults. As part of the charter renewal process, TAC will charge an annual Overseas Council Fee of $48 for youth and adults.
The BSA national membership fees effective 1 August 2020 are:
- $66 for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing and Sea Scouts participants
- $42 for Exploring participants
- $42 for all adult volunteers (includes cost of background check)
- $75 for a unit charter fee
Starting 1 August 2020, there will also be a one-time $25 joining fee for new program participants in Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing and Sea Scouts. There is no joining fee for Exploring participants, participants previously registered in any BSA program, those transferring from one program to another, council-paid memberships, or adult volunteers.
Program Supply Center Update
The council Program Supply Center continues to be closed until further notice due to COVID 19 restrictions. For the safety of our members, volunteers and staff, operating protocols as defined by the Kingdom of Belgium and the US Dept. of Defense are being strictly followed.
We realize this may cause distress for your unit as you want to recognize Scouts with badges of rank and other advancement related items. For those with US addresses (APO, DPO, FPO and traditional US City and State) you can now order directly from the BSA Supply Distribution Center. Unfortunately, we do not have an interim solution for our non-US address units.
