Milestone
10.0.0.0. A member has a disability or special need
Required
Youth and adults with special needs or disabilities are welcome in Scouting America. Where knowledgeable parents, guardians or volunteers can provide assistance and oversight, almost anyone can be a member.
Notes and warnings
Note. Leaders should be enthusiastic about helping members with special needs, and should also expect demands on their patience, understanding and skill in working on advancement. The Guide says both in the same paragraph.
