Special Needs and Disabilities Committee

The Mission of the Special Needs at Disabilities Committee is to provide training, resources, and support to educate and engage Northern Star Scouting leaders, volunteers, and staff to ensure understanding and inclusion for youth of all abilities in all units of the council. Youth First, Units First.

The Special Needs and Disabilities Committee (SNDC) has amassed a wealth of resources that are available to all. The Committee meets the first Wednesday of the month via Zoom and has representatives from all reaches of the Northern Star Scouting. The SNDC has volunteers that are available to provide personal support, talk through complex situations, and generally offer assistance for any parents and/or unit leaders. Commissioners are available to present at district roundtables, provide information when working on the disabilities awareness merit badge, and assist with units with specific issues.
