Alternate Rank Requirements

Kris Swank (dswank@SAT.NET)
Tue, 31 Aug 1999 20:46:10 -0500


I am hoping I can call upon the collective wisdom of the list for help.
We have a young man in our Troop who has Spina Bifida, because of
factors relating to this condition he has not been on camp-outs and
won't do much of the physical requirements for the first 3 ranks. The
old Scoutmaster is moving and my Husband is now Scoutmaster and wants to
see if this young man qualifies for alternate requirements. We will be
giving the Council Advancement Committee the required paperwork,
however, he needs some suggestions for replacement requirements. Would
taking part in Hikes instead of Camp-outs work? He has gone on a 3 mile
hike with the Troop and did it but he was exausted and it was hard on
him. What about for the exercises for Tenderfoot? The swimming
requirements could also be a problem. Any suggestions would be
appreciated, the young man attends meetings regularly and seems to be
interested but won't give anyone a clue about what is going on and the
Old Scoutmaster didn't try to work with his family.

YIS,
