It’s a birthday party and you’re invited!Register at https://scoutingevent.com/802-SLC75.
In 2025, the Transatlantic Council turns 75 years young, and we are returning to where it all began in 1950! The 2025 Scouting Leadership Conference (SLC) will be held over the November 14th- 16th Weekend at the Berggasthof Königstuhl in Heidelberg Germany. The Scouting Leadership Conference (SLC) training event for adult and youth leaders is offered by the Transatlantic Council, and is designed to supplement the educational experience of any Scout leader.
After SLC classes are done, join us at the Council Celebration Dinner on Saturday evening. In addition to other awards, the highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Silver Beaver Awards. This is the highest award that a local council can bestow to a volunteer for their service within the council and to the Boy Scouts of America.
SLC 2025 is open to all Scout Leaders, Youth Leaders, Chartered Organizations, and parents within the Transatlantic Council. Adults may register to attend any class regardless of program designation. The classes offered provide skills for first-time leaders to experienced leaders.
This year discussions will range from how to keep the fun in Scouting to all the “need to know” while Scouting in the overseas environment. Courses will be held on Saturday the 15th, with topics focusing on support of Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, Venturing, and other Scouting programs. Refer to the listing of class offerings and schedule on the registration page to see what is being offered.
