| We strive to provide individuals with special needs opportunities to participate to the best of their abilities in an all-inclusive Scouting program offered by the Boy Scouts of America. Since its founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has had fully participating members with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. James E. West, the fist Chief Scout Executive, was a person with a disability. Although most of the BSA’s efforts have been directed at keeping such boys in the mainstream of Scouting, it has also recognized the special needs of those with significant disabilities. |
