It’s now December 1 st and all of the Transatlantic Council units that were able to submit their recharter on-time have now earned free pinewood derby kits or lunchboxes for each youth member. Did your unit not meet the deadline?

Need help to get back on track or have a question that’s holding your unit back from finalizing your recharter? Review the resources here: https://www.tac-bsa.org/resources/rechartering/

…or for any further questions, please reach out to our Council Commissioner or a

member of our field staff: Sarah, John, Garrett or Rodney.

Don’t let your unit lapse!

Due to the current pandemic situation in Austria, the Austrian authorities have decided that the 2021 Peace Light Ceremony will once again be held virtually.

The Peace Light Service will be held on December 11th in Salzburg, Austria and will be streamed live on the internet and all Scouts are encouraged to take part in the online service. The Peace Light will be carried to the Austrian border where it will be handed over to the delegations of neighboring countries for distribution. Check with your local host nation Scouting organization for more details on distribution.

Check out the TAC website for more information regarding the video presentation.

The Transatlantic Council makes great efforts to provide an Unparalleled Scouting experience and deliver exceptional program opportunities.

Unfortunately, in these challenging times our efforts are not always enough. It is with great disappointment that we must announce the cancelation of Klondike 2022 due to the recent entry and quarantine restrictions enacted by the Swiss government. These increased restrictions make it extremely difficult to enter Switzerland from many of the host nations of those registered to attend. If you had a paid registration, look for an email communication regarding your refund options.
