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.

This includes:

  • Girl Scouts with diagnosed disabilities

  •  Girl Scouts who have IEPs/504 plans in the school setting

  • Girl Scouts who receive disability related accommodations within the school setting

    Girl Scouts with diagnosed disabilities. 

  • Girl Scouts who have IEPs/504 plans in the school setting

  • Girl Scouts who receive disability related accommodations within the school setting

  • Girl Scouts who identify as having disability/ “special need,” including those who may not have a formal diagnosis.  

  • Girl Scouts who identify as having disability/ “special need,” including those who may not have a formal diagnosis. 

  • 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.
