The basic premise of Scouting for youth with disabilities is that all youth want to participate fully and be respected like every other member of the unit. While there are, by necessity, units exclusively composed of Scouts with disabilities, experience has shown that Scouting usually succeeds best when every Scout is part of a regular unit.

Here in Connecticut we have our own Scouts with Special Needs Committee! If you have questions about local needs please contact our Scout with Special needs Chairman for questions or if interested in wanting to join the committee please contact 

Sandy Payne and or Charlie Copeland
