Boy Scouts of America (BSA), was incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by the US Congress in 1916. Transatlantic Council (TAC) began in 1950 at the invitation of the US Department of Defense (DOD). Today, TAC provides unparalleled Scouting to thousands of DOD and non-DOD families overseas across three continents and many time zones. Scouting is adventure, family, fun, character, leadership and so much more. In Scouting, boys and girls discover how to do their best, be prepared, and help other people at all times. It’s fun, hands-on, learning, and achievement that puts youth in the middle of the action and prepares them for today, for the future, for life. Scout me in.
