TAC awarded the Northeast Region Religious Relationships Award

The BSA Northeast Region is recognizing TAC with the Northeast Region Religious Relationships Award, presented annually to councils that promote Religious Relationships and youth Religious Emblems program, increase religious observance among youth members, and more.

TAC Scouts took part in the Bethlehem Peacelight, Scout Sabbath (Tzfat), Scout Jumuah (Doha), and Scout Sunday (Alconbury, Kaiserslautern, Rome, Naples, Garmisch, Nuremburg, Madrid, Amman, Vienna). Scouts in Madrid hiked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Scouts in the Middle East took part in Ramadan starting with Iftar. Scouts in Garmisch raised over $5000 for Christmas gifts to 120 orphan children. All these great unit activities are the reason TAC is being recognized with this prestigious award. Congratulations to the TAC Religious Relationships Committee chaired by A.J. Boyd of Rome, Italy.

It's underway!

Patches, pins, books, Scouting experiences, and a whole lot more. Don't miss the fun.

TAC Celebrates 2021 Friends of Scouting Success

On March 3rd, TAC Scouters came together via Zoom for a Friends of Scouting (FOS) celebration. It marked the formal end of the 2021 FOS appeal, which reached its $240,000 goal in just 90 days. All six districts and the executive board reached their goals. Remarks were shared by council and district leaders and even Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell stopped by to offer his congratulations.

From April through November, TAC volunteers will meet on the first Wednesday at 5:00pm Paris time to debrief and strategize the continued cultivation and engagement with donors and volunteers. Please join us at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87228378478
