Friends of Scouting 2024
The Transatlantic Council will start the 2024 campaign on Decmber 1st. We always need your support to be able to bring and support top programs for our youth! We will be contacting our units to ask for a time between January and March for a Friends of Scouting presentation to your unit to come talk about TAC, what it does for families, and and ask for financial support.
If you believe Scouting has benefited your Scout and your family, please give today! All money raised here, stays here for the benefits of our TAC Scouts.

Roundtables
Roundtables provide unit leaders with the skill to do and the will to do what is needed to ensure that every member of every unit has a great Scouting experience. They build upon the foundation provided by position-specific basic training and each leader’s commitment to serving youth through Scouting.
- Provide information
- Capture information
- Offer current program training
- Provide networking opportunities
Roundtables are a collaborative effort coordinated by Unit Service (commissioners) and supported by commissioned professionals and district operations (Program, Membership, and Finance). Active participation by all roundtable participants increases the value of attendance for everyone.
*Effective September 2024!
Barbarossa District’s Roundtable- open to ALL leaders- are now the 4th Wednesday of the month (except in July) at 1930 CET. We broadcast it via zoom so we can reach the widest audience. (In-person roundtables are held at the Scout Hut in Kapaun.)
