Decision

10.1.3.0. Venturing and Sea Scouts: does the crew's or ship's program fit?

Required May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Which program is the member in?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

A Venturer-age or Sea Scout-age youth with disabilities, with a parent or guardian, must consider the programs individual crews and ships actually run, because the activities have to fit within their capabilities. A conversation with the Advisor or Skipper reveals what is possible. Crews are generally able to offer more flexibility than ships, where safety concerns aboard a vessel can present barriers that are difficult or impossible to overcome.

Notes and warnings

Note. Crews are generally able to offer more flexibility than ships. Safety concerns aboard a vessel can present barriers that are difficult or impossible to overcome, and the Guide says so rather than leaving a family to discover it.
