We have placed the Disability Awareness Merit Badge Requirements on the Advancement Page.  Experienced Scouters have developed a Tracking Sheet to assist Scouts in organizing their progress. The Tracking Sheet is available for downloading in Adobe Acrobat Reader (.pdf) and Rich Text Format (rtf) on the US Scouting Service Project website.

As part of his Woodbadge ticket Brian Schuldt developed a skit which has been in use since as a training tool in the Chief Seattle Council, WA. This is a great skit for Train the Trainer, Adult Leader Training, Commissioners College, or Pow Wows. It's short and to the point, a great topic for Roundtables. View the skit

For the fifth Jamboree in a row, a staff of dedicated Scouters created a challenging venue to provide Boy Scouts and their leaders the opportunity to become aware of devices that have been developed for the disAbled, to give them the opportunity to "experience" having a disAbility, and to demonstrate to them that those who have severe limitations can adapt and lead wholesome lives.  [NOTE: The disAbilities Awareness Challenge was also at the 2005 National Jamboree and contained additional opportunities.]  View pictures of the dAC 2001 venue.

This is the new U.S. Government Website, announced at the 10th Anniversary celebration of the ADA. It contains a wealth of information on topics such as Children & Youth, Civil Rights, Employment, Education, Health, Housing, Income Support, Recreation & Travel, Tax Credits, Technology, and more. It is well worth a visit.  disAbility.gov
