Scouting for Children with Special Needs. Introduction Scouting contributes to building communities which recognize and value diversity where there is a place for everyone. It is very important to recognize that inclusion within Scouting plays an important role in modifying community attitudes towards people living with disabilities. Scouting helps improve the self-confidence & self-esteem of children and young people with disabilities. Considering an Inclusive and diversity, the children living with disabilities should be given equal opportunity both in education and co-curricular activities. Scouting is probably the one place where a youth who has a disability can be treated without any label attached. The scouting program is structured in such a way that a youth who has a disability can achieve and accommodate where appropriate. In scouting, a disability is any health condition, impairment or functional problem that could make it difficult for a young person or adult to access or participate in activities (World scout Bureau. P.5). Without assistance and attention people with disabilities may be marginalized, and excluded from the Scout activities. Disabilities doesn’t mean only physical, there are many types of disabilities such as cognitive, behavioral or learning disabilities. Mobility impairments, speech language impairment and vision or hearing impairment. So there could be several children in our school with such disabilities, and they shouldn’t be neglected and excluded. Disability is a general or umbrella term used to designate any impairment of body function or participation restriction. It doesn’t mean all scouts should be good in performing deal, dance and physical activities. We can always do physical accommodation in such cases. We need to be creative in ways to help them. Many children with disabilities don’t have enough opportunities to discover, prove and improve themselves in the society due to their disabilities, and lack of opportunities to prove themselves. In Tshangkha Central School, all the children living with disabilities are enrolled in Scouting. Scouts take responsibility for those with special needs in their Patrol and help them during activities.
