Additional needs
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, whatever that may be.
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! That's why all of our groups in Hull are here to support you both, from their first night away from home to them becoming a role model (aka a volunteer)
As Scouts, we believe that people are disabled by society, so it is our responsibility to remove or reduce that disadvantage.
How we support young people
A positive, open and continuous conversation between volunteers, young people, and parents and carers is key to making Scouts safe and inclusive. The more information the volunteer team has, the better equipped they are to support the full participation of disabled members.
Agreeing adjustments
There is loads of flexibility in both the scout's program and badge requirements, making sure everyone can enjoy and adventure in a way that's beneficial to them. Once we understand the needs of your young person our leaders will work on adapting their program ensuring they can get involved. Our volunteers will work with you and your young person because working together ensures they get the best out of scouts.
Kingston Scout Group - Supporting Special Needs
Through scouting, we want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn skills for life. While we always encourage young people to give mainstream scouting a go and stick with it, we know for any young people this isn't always possible. That is why in Hull we have our Kingston Scout Group who specialise in supporting special needs. Across the group, they have many years of supporting young people, whether it be one-to-one support or helping with a specific need. The group works with people aged 8 - 25.
