TAC's Online Consolidated Scouting Units
The "802s" Scouting Groups
The Transatlantic Council serves youth far and wide. While many of our Scouts live in communities where they can join other youth in a Cub Scout Pack, Scouts BSA Troop, or a Venturing Crew, some of our other Scouts are far more geographically separated.
To serve these Scouts, Transatlantic Council offers participation through our unique Council Consolidated 802 online Scout Units.
NOTE: You must reside in the geographic footprint of the Transatlantic Council to participate as a member of one of our online Scouting units.
If you do not, please contact the local Scout Council in your area for their help to get your Scout registered.
Mission Statement
The purpose of our 802 Units is to provide a traditional Scouting opportunity to every Scout located in remote or underserved areas within the Transatlantic Council (TAC) footprint.
Scouts and prospective Scouts who reside in remote or underserved areas within the TAC footprint are eligible for membership in this revolutionary program developed by the Transatlantic Council. Because of the nature of this program’s delivery, parents are expected to be registered with Scouting America, provide onsite guidance, and ensure the safety of their Scout. We want to make sure each Scout conducts themselves in keeping with the Guide to Safe Scouting, the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law.
