The Narragansett Council’s Scouting for All Abilities Committee is dedicated to delivering one of the nation’s leading inclusive Scouting programs. Our mission is to ensure that every youth—regardless of ability—has access to a meaningful, high-quality Scouting experience.
We focus on:
• Promoting Awareness and Inclusion
Encouraging all Scouting units to recognize and embrace the needs of youth with diverse abilities.
• Supporting Leaders, Units, and Families
Providing guidance, tools, and resources that help create successful, inclusive environments where every Scout can thrive.
• Expanding Education and Training
Connecting leaders with up-to-date information, resources, and learning opportunities to strengthen their ability to support all Scouts.
Our goal is simple: to ensure every individual can participate in the positive, values- driven Scouting America program to the fullest extent of their abilities.
To further support this mission, we encourage leaders and families to explore Scouting America’s Introduction to Working with Scouts with Special Needs and Disabilities, which includes practical guidance, program strategies, and helpful resources:
