Scouting is an experience that every young person deserves. Help us fund staff positions for dedicated professionals to deliver our Special Needs and Abilities Awareness Scouting program. This fund also allows us to gain access to specialized facilities and equipment to give an entire community the joy of Scouting achievement and adventure.
Exciting and Challenging Scouting Programs for Special Needs Youth!
Every child deserves the chance to thrive in Scouting—and this fund makes sure they do. The Special Needs & Abilities Scouting Professional Fund supports the hiring of trained staff who develop inclusive programs and accommodations for Scouts with diverse needs.
From sensory-friendly events to adaptive equipment, these professionals ensure that every young person—regardless of disability—can participate fully and safely. The impact of their work ripples beyond individual Scouts, creating troops that are more compassionate, flexible, and unified.
This fund fuels the kind of thoughtful innovation that changes lives. It ensures that Scouting isn’t just accessible—it’s welcoming, empowering, and transformative for every family in our council.
