Including Girl Scouts of all abilities
Our staff is committed to providing resources and support to ensure the participation of Girl Scouts with disabilities. This is done by providing adaptive resources, training and education on inclusion and disability awareness and inclusion resources.
Inclusive Girl Scout Programming:
The Gold Award and Inclusion - Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital is committed to ensuring that youth members of all abilities are able to achieve the Gold Award - A Girl Scout’s highest honor.
This includes:
- When a Girl Scout indicates they need accommodations, the Council staff will contact the family to get clarity on the types of accommodations needed. We will decide on reasonable accommodations. The Council then communicates directly with the Gold Award Panel about the accommodations and ensures the Panel feels capable of fulfilling them.
Our aim is to treat every Girl Scout with the attention and respect they deserve as a Gold Award Earning Girl Scout.
