Sign up for the Special Needs Awareness Training for all ages. There will be activities for the Cub Scouts, Disabilities Awareness Merit Badge for Scouts BSA and adult classes for leaders and parents.  Attend this training with professionals in the fields of Special Needs and Education for the opportunity to learn how to provide the best services for every Scout.

The next training will be held on March 8, 2025, at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville, IL. Check in will start at 9:00am with class starting at 9:30am and will be completed at 3:00pm. 

When you arrive to camp each participant will be divided into Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Leaders/Adult/Parents/Youth Leadership. Each group will be in the general area but wanted to clarify that each group will be divided and given leadership by the special needs committee staff. 

Lunch will not be provided to help lower the cost. Everyone is encouraged to bring a sack lunch and drinks/snack for the day of training. 

We need youth or adult volunteers to help support the Cub Scout and Scout BSA programs. Please register online as a staff member if interested or email questions to:
