Program accomplishments
- TRANSATLANTIC COUNCIL (The Council or TAC) SERVES OVER 4100 YOUTH AND 1,200 volunteers ACTIVE IN CUB SCOUTING, SCOUTS BSA and VENTURING scouting programs. TAC SUPPORTS US MILITARY AND EXPATRIATE FAMILIES LIVING OVERSEAS IN EUROPE, AFRICA, the MIDDLE EAST, AND CENTRAL ASIA. The council's partnerships with local chartered organizations deliver these scouting programs, engaging U.S. MILITARY COMMANDS, INTERNATIONAL AND AMERICAN SCHOOLS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. UNique CAMP EXPERIENCES are normally offered through the programs of CAMP ALPINE IN KANDERSTEG, SWITZERLAND; CAMP AVANTURA IN SAVUDRIJA, Croatia; AND CAMP KENYA in Sagana, KENYA. YOUTH MEMBERS ALSO EXPERIENCE HIGH ADVENTURE programs AT THE PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH IN NEW MEXICO, the SUMMIT BECHTEL RESERVE IN WEST VIRGINIA, the NORTHERN TIER IN northern MINNESOTA northwest ontario and Northeast manitoba, and the FLORIDA SEA BASE IN the Florida keys, As well as the national and WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREES. The council is administratively subdivided into SIX DISTRICTS that coordinate and provide ADULT leader TRAINING, SCOUT CAMPOREES, CUB SCOUT DAY CAMPS, ORDER OF THE ARROW EVENTS and other activities. As a founding member of Intercamp, the Council collaborates with nine or more other Scout associations each year to conduct a weekend activity over the the Whitsun weekend. This international program develops cultural goodwill and friendship - guided by scouting principles that support teamwork and understanding. Training opportunities provided by the Council include Scouters Annual conference, Wood badge training for adults, national camping school for key camp leaders and national youth leadership training. The council periodically hosts a signature Normandy Camporee, which provides recognition and reflection about the 1944 D-Day landings as messengers of peace. Since its inception in 1994,over 40,000 youth and leaders from Scouting America and European scouting associations have taken part in this event. In recognition of the council's efforts, the republic of France has designated the council as "custodians of Omaha Beach".Expenses $1,417,075 · revenue $1,024,711
