✔️ Accommodations – alternative ways to complete requirements
✔️ Modifications – adjustments when necessary
✔️ Registration Beyond the Age of Eligibility (RBAE)
✔️ And other tools designed to support Scouts of all abilities

Join this informative session to:

For those interested in learning more about how to support Scouts with disabilities and special needs, please consider attending the Adaptive Conference at Philmont Training Center, June 28-July 4.
If you would like for your Scout with a disability to have a Philmont Experience, I encourage you and your family to attend the Zia Family Experience (same dates).

Philmont has scholarships available for anyone interested.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message.
