We have a 50% market share for Cub Scouts and 55% market share for Boy Scouts, the highest density totals in the BSA. We operate four long term resident camps and six Cub Scout day camps. We also are a founding member of Intercamp that provides an opportunity for Scouts from nine countries to have an annual mini-jamboree. We are recognized by the French government as custodians of Omaha Beach for our long term support of the US D-Day landing beaches. We provide opportunities for every family living in Europe to participate at an Omaha Beach camporee. Our 5,783 youth of whom 66% are children of US Service Members stationed abroad, experience a quality scouting experience through the efforts of 2,418 volunteers, 5 full time executives, 1 part-time executive and a four person administrative team. experience. In April 2014 and again in April 2017, Transatlantic Council hosted the largest private event ever held on Omaha Beach. Over 6,000 youth, leaders, and family members from the Boy Scouts of America and nearly 700 international youth and leaders joined in a Messengers of Peace program to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The Transatlantic Council was recognized for its lead role in the campaign for UNESCO World Heritage Status. Scouts unveiled the new "Peace" Bell that now hangs in the Bayeux Cathedral with Scouts representing the main participants on D-Day each striking the bell once. The Transatlantic Council also has the responsibility of serving the Boy Scouts of America youth and volunteers in Africa, Middle East and the former Soviet Republics. This additional territory greatly expands the scope and program opportunities for youth in our council. We are working with key leadership to implement programs to enhance the quality of local scouting experience.”
