After setup, parents can pay dues directly to the unit using Scoutbook and save the hassle of sending cash or checks via their Scouts. For more information on setting up a Paypal account for your unit follow this link.

In February we introduced the first in our series - a 4 piece set celebrating Lord Robert Baden-Powell.

In March, William D. Boyce was featured in the 4 piece set, followed by a 4 piece set featuring Ernest Thompson Seton in April.

'Uncle Dan’ as he was known, was the first National Commissioner and also the founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone. His intriguing profile is available on the National Order of the Arrow webpage.

The BSA has put in place Youth Protection policies and multiple barriers to abuse for the safety and well-being of its members. These policies primarily protect youth members. They also serve to protect adult leaders. Registered leaders must follow these guidelines with Scouting youth outside of Scouting activities.

Just in time for the summer transfer season- a brand new feature is available in my.scouting.org which can be a game changer for TAC Scouting!

The ability for parents and/or volunteers to transfer Scouts or themselves between councils using the online registration system in my.scouting.org has been activated. This allows parents to login to their account and transfer from one council to another. Once the new application is approved by the new unit and the overnight data sync happens, all the training and advancement records for the member will follow. Here are all the instructions you need.
