Educational Value

Simon Kenton Council Boy Scouts of America (SKCBSA) provides Scouting opportunities to all youth ages 6-18, including youth who have disabilities or special needs. Scouting activities are provided in a ADA accessible environments throughout our region. SKCBSA has volunteers and professionals who specifically work with Scouts who have disabilities or special needs so that they may participate in programming. Scouting staff and volunteers also intentionally promote awareness about disabilities and special needs in Scouting and advocate for the recruitment, inclusion and full participation of members who have disabilities or special needs in the programs of the Boy Scouts of America. We have some local scout troops that have up to a 50% membership of youth with disabilities. We have several staff trained to train other staff to serve youth who have disabilities. We also have group Scout Leadership discussions on Scouting for youth with disabilities or special needs. Each year, the Special Needs Scouting Service Award is given to volunteers and staff who complete various nationally approved disabilities and special needs training, and go over and above to provide serve youth who have disabilities and special needs.
