The Special Needs and Disabilities Committee of Three Harbors Council aims to provide everyone with the tools and resources to help our Scouts grow. Whether they have a disability or not, we want all Scouts to feel included with their packs and troops. Through training and communication, we will guide leaders and parents to help their Scouts succeed. Scouting America PDF Articles and Link Scouting America provides numerous articles and training for working with Scouts with special needs. Advancement Links Advancement can vary slightly when working with Scouts with special needs. Alternatives can be requested, based on a Scout's capabilities but must still challenge the Scout for growth. For each alternative requested, an ISAP must be completed with the Scout, parent/guardian, and Scoutmaster all in agreement. Any eagle rank alternatives must be submitted to the council advancement committee for approval.
