Decision
10.1.2.4. An alternative is a modified requirement, or a substitute task
Required May not apply
It can be a modified version of the original (a shorter hike or swim, a flotation aid, prompts for something that has to be memorised), or a complete substitution of a task the Scout can do for one they cannot. No Scout can be asked to do the impossible, but an alternative must provide a similar learning experience and a similar level of challenge to what any non-disabled Scout would meet.
