The Adaptive Scouting Committee

About Us 

The Adaptive Committee’s mission is to ensure Scouts and Scouters are aware of how to include youth with any type of need and that they have access to all Scouting Programs and activities. The Committee will provide education, support, and resources to accommodate Adaptive Scouting needs. Also, the Committee will assist the Council and Units in ensuring that their facilities have the necessary tools to accommodate Adaptive Scouts.
