The Transatlantic Council has two amazing camps planned for this summer: Camp Alpine and Camp Avantura BSA both have early bird pricing through May 20th, if you are not registered by then, your Scouts will be paying more to attend the camp!

Please get your unit registration started soon! Don’t wait until May 20 to register as the most popular classes will fill up fast!

We want to remind you to follow a multi-layer approach when dealing with COVID-19 – the COVID-19 “Swiss Cheese” Mitigation Strategy. COVID mitigation (scouting.org)

The Transatlantic Council remains committed to ensuring a safe Scouting experience for

all who attend Scouting activities and camps and to doing our part to reduce COVID-19 exposures.

Your TAC Scout Camp leadership will be using the BSA COVID-19 Resource Center,

including the “Swiss Cheese” COVID-19 mitigation layers, as you prepare for the

camping season. https://www.scouting.org/outdoor-programs/camping-covid-19-

Recognition of Scouters in the Transatlantic Council (TAC) is important. It is vital that TAC takes the time to recognize very deserving volunteers for the time and talent that they share across the TAC landscape.

There are awards which cannot be earned but are a result of a selection process approved by volunteer committees.

Please take time to nominate someone you think is deserving of this recognition. TAC should receive all award nominations by 30 June via john.erskine@scouting.org

Here are the awards with descriptions and nomination forms.

o Silver Beaver Award https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/92-103.pdf
