Guidelines

PRESIDENTIAL AWARD

Although we do not set unit level Friends of Scouting goals, we would like to recognize units who support the Transatlantic Council at a superior level. Every unit that contributes an average of $30 per registered family and has a minimum of 30% participation (defined as a contribution of at least $10) will be recognized as a TAC Presidential Unit. Each Presidential Unit will receive a 10% discount on every order made from the TAC Scout Shop between the presentation date and 30 June,  provided the unit follows the guidelines listed below. Units that achieve the same or greater participation percentage and raise an average of $50 per family will have the discount extended to 28 February of the following year.

Guidelines

• Once your Pack, Troop or Crew achieves this Friends of Scouting Family Campaign Award, your unit will be notified that it is a Presidential Unit .The discount is for the unit, not individuals, therefore purchases must be made through the Unit TAC Account or Unit Checking Account.  Personal checks and/or credit cards cannot be used for the discount.  Only authorized users on the units' TAC Account can purchase using the unit funds.

• Items purchased by the unit must be specific to the unit.  For example, a Troop cannot receive a discount on a Cub Scout Wolf cap.

• The discount cannot be used on Custom Design orders. 

• The discount cannot be used on overdrawn accounts.  The unit account must be in good standing before the discount can be used.

• Visa, MasterCard, Cash, Check, Money Order, Euros and Bank Transfers can be used to make deposits.

• The discount can save units over $500.00 a year on average purchases.

• The discount may be used until 15 February of the following year

• Congratulations on the fine work your unit has done for our youth. If you have questions concerning the Presidential Unit campaign, please do not hesitate to contact the Service Center at DSN 375-7087 or 4039.  From a local phone, it is +49 (0)621-487-7087 or 4039.
