We know if you’ve got a young person in your care with additional needs, doing something new can be scary – for both of you!
We pride ourselves on our inclusivity and we do our best to make sure all our members can take part. There’s a lot of flexibility within the Scouts programme to meet individual needs, whether that be a disability, neurodiversity, or an educational, mental health or medical need.
What do I need to do?
When you’re first thinking of joining Scouts, contact our Groups lead volunteer. We will get in touch to arrange a chat with you to find out more about your young person.
This isn’t an interview or screening process, it’s simply to make sure we understand your young person’s needs and how we can make adjustments to make sure your young person will get the most out of Scouts.
This conversation will just be the start of our ongoing partnership with you as a parent or carer. We appreciate things are constantly changing, and you’re welcome to speak to your volunteers leaders at any time.

Young people thrive in secure surroundings, at home and away. Wherever we go, we’re serious about keeping them safe.
