Making your Troop More inclusive for Youth with Disabilities
Wilderness Inquiry has teamed up with Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. to improve the inclusion of youth with disabilities within Scouting organizations.
Wilderness Inquiry is providing interactive, hands on training, activities and TRIPS for scouting volunteers and staff who are challenged by the reality of working with kids of all backgrounds and abilities.

Wilderness Inquiry hosts many community events throughout the year. Provided below is a list of events that are open to your troop!
Scout leaders and their youth participants will serve as volunteer assistants for people with and without disabilities. These activities will provide the opportunity for hands on learning and service in a safe environment for both scouts and their leaders.
These events are also a great way to use your skills and abilities learned in our spring Discovery Seminars!
All volunteers will receive a unique Beyond Special Populations Patch!
