TAC and Face-to-Face Unit Programs
The safety of our youth members, volunteer leaders, staff, and employees continues to be the most important part of the TAC Scouting experience.
COVID-19 continues to impact in-person TAC events like the Scouters Annual Conference in November, which is being transformed into a digital experience.
Transatlantic Council (TAC) is announcing the cancellation of all face-to-face council and district programs now through 31 December 2020.
So, what does all this mean for your face-to-face unit programs? What should you do as a local TAC Scouting unit volunteer?
For your unit activities, we encourage you to remain strongly committed to the most important factor in any TAC Scouting event-the safety of your Scouts, parents, and leaders.
Units may hold meetings and activities, pursuant to guidelines provided by local governments or municipalities, military installations, and the unit's chartered organization.
To help your unit develop its programs, TAC will host an online conversation about face to face unit activities on Monday 16 November, beginning at 5:00pm Brussels time via Zoom.
Scouters Annual Conference becomes virtual
The Scouters Annual Conference originally scheduled to be an in-person event the weekend of November 13-15 is being re-tooled to be a virtual event. Stay tuned for registration opportunities for virtual training and 70th Anniversary celebration activities...... (activities will include an online auction of some really great stuff)
Brussels Service Center Update
Beginning October 19th, the Belgian government has made teleworking mandatory for everyone in the country to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. This rule will be in place for at least the next 30 days.
The new measure will have an impact on the expediency of processing Program Supply Center orders and Eagle Scout certificates as our employees will not be permitted to be in the office every day. We will do our best to get items mailed as soon as feasible, but there may be delays.
We ask for your patience as we balance keeping our TAC family safe while still meeting the needs of our customers.
Thank you for your understanding.
