This article, as well as the ones for Transatlantic and Far East Councils, must read differently as administratively they are very much different than Scouting in the United States itself. Unless you can come up with some of your _own_ changes to make it sound less commercial to you, I will remove the tag shortly. Kintetsubuffalo 03:32, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Why are some countries linked to the country article and not others? Should they all be linked to country articles - note main country article not scouting country article. -- Bduke 01:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Should we consider merging Far East and Transatlantic Councils and Direct Service, as we are trying to integrate Girl Scout Councils into the state articles, perhaps "American Scouting overseas" or something? Chris 20:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Not being a very insider of Wikiedia and no member of BSA at all, I wished to get an image for the Transatlantic Council paragraph (and the German article as well). Could anyone from "inside" take responsibilities please? Yours in Scouting, FloK 22:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I am not a part of the "inside" but here is an image of the Transatlantic Council "round the world" emblem which I wore as a young Cub Scout and later young Boy Scout.
[ [1]]
The area served by the Transatlantic Council (TAC for short) has expanded and contracted as the nations which had Americans stationed with various military organizations and civilians working for various trans-national agencies and firms changed. Currently, just about every nation in Europe, three nations in the Near East, and one nation (Morrocco) in North Africa "belongs" to TAC. Those areas outside of those areas are served by the BSA's Direct Service (no longer a "Council"; they refer to themselves simply as the "Direct Service" since 1998).
The Council also has a shield logo which was also used for a special leadership recognition emblem. I do not have access to that emblem right now but can follow-up if the moderation team agrees to provide them or post it here.

I lived in Neu-Ulm for six years. I have a TAC patch, a "world" patch with several segments, a Black Eagle Lodge flap and an Alpine District (now defunct) patch from 1989 or so- I know the design has changed. I also have patches for Camp Dahn, Camp Freedom, Bayern High Adventure Camp, Berlin Historical Trail, Hohenstaufen Scout Trail and several others. -- Gadget850 ( Ed) 22:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
There is a *considerable* amount of information on the Philippine Council of BSA at http://mbcenter.org/history/p5_pcbsa.php . Is it worth adding here and if not here, where? I'd like to see equivalent information for the other International Councils which no longer exist. I know that the articles for Scouting in an individual state might not include information on some of the historical councils, but I think the situation is different enough that it does belong here.
