Disability Awareness

  The World Organization of the Scout Movement says:

"There are many different forms of disability and these are often categorized as physical, which includes visual and hearing impairment as well as problems with mobility, and learning disabilities when people may need extra support for learning and social integration.

A disability becomes a handicap, when it limits a person's potential. Many people with disabilities can lead full and active lives, if they are provided with essential support. Scouting supports the development of all young people who are members of the Movement and this should include young people who have disabilities. It is also essential for the development of communities that young people recognize and respond to the needs of other members of the community who are less able. All members of the community have the right to play an active role. Developing empathy and awareness of the issue of disability is an important life skill for young people."   http://scout.org/en
