TAC Scouters recently came together via Zoom for a Friends of Scouting (FOS) celebration. It marked the formal end of the 2022 FOS appeal, which ran for 90 days December through February—on the way to our goal of $302,500.

Remarks were shared by council president Dean Menegas, vice president for development Jim Kraimer, Friends of Scouting volunteer Joshua Dick, TAC historian Greg Pedlow, and others who offered their congratulations. 

We are pleased to announce that all six districts and the executive board have reached their FOS goals.

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
