Scouting and Autism
Scouting can help autistic children in many ways. Scouting is generally a group activity and can help an autistic child learn peer related social and communication skills. Scouting can also help teach an autistic child the safe way to do many activities that they will be useful throughout their lives including first aid, cooking, team work, personal fitness and personal management. Many of the activities are physical in nature and focus on nature and camping. The physical activities are designed to be challenging, but not impossible for any youth to complete. Advancement and recognition are a strong part of scouting, but are set on an individual pace. It's not a race and not a competition. Scouting encourages youth to reach difficult, but attainable goals. This can help foster a sense of accomplishment and give kids something to be proud of.
Many sports and other extra-curricular activities are not suited for autistic children for a variety of reason but Boy Scouts is open to all boys, with or without disabilities, and will make every effort to accommodate Scouts with disabilities and special consideration can be given to scouts who are physically unable to complete a requirement due to disability.
