Boy Scout Disability Awareness Day

All Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts from Westchester and Putnam Counties are invited to attend this free event.

Boy Scouts will receive help in earning the Disability Awareness Merit Badge and Cub Scouts can earn their Disability Awareness Academic Pin or Belt Loop.

The Boy Scout Disability Awareness Program was created to help educate scouts on the varying scope of disabilities and to provide an awareness of people with differing abilities.

Agencies that will help educate the scouts include Hudson Valley Self Advocacy of New York, Westchester Institute for Human Development (WHD), Family Ties, A-Skate,  and Autism Speaks.
