Advancement for Special Needs ScoutsYouth and adults with physical disabilities and with developmental or cognitive challenges are welcome in the Boy Scouts of America. Various accommodations exist to facilitate advancement. These youth do not need to join a special unit oriented to serving members with disabilities, although those units exist and may be beneficial in some cases. The severity of disability will indicate how members should be registered.
