[QUOTE="lolita, post: 515317, member: 13705"] This talks about his troop...!!! its cool!!! As far as a support group this past Thursday we took CJ to a Boy Scout meeting for the first time. They did an Orienteering and First Aid Class! I think he really liked it! Even though he was so SHY and didnt say a peep! Friday morning we dropped him off at school and he kept saying he wanted a Compass! Lol I have all the paperwork to sign him up! One of the brochures says this! While there are other troops and activities in Virginia designed for boys with more severe impairments, the goal of Troop XXX is to provide the scouting experience for in between boys who can function socially and have the capability to take full advantage of all that scouting has to offer, but who might have trouble clicking in a regular scout troop. The boys in our troop have a range of disabilities, such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Aspergers and other mild disabilities on the Autism Spectrum. The type of boy that we seek interacts well with other boys, but has impairments that make most scout troops a difficult fit. The Troops goal is to challenge each boy to learn and to grow through the scouting experience into the young man that he can become. Etc..and etc.. This is the perfect fit for CJ!! He just turned 11 so he can join now! I am betting he will love being in this troop! How cool is that! Oh and the Troop Motto is No Obstacles to Adventure! My dad found the troop! By accident! He actually just googled the closest Boy Scout Troop to us! This one just so happened to be in Walking Distance! Its literally in our backyard! We can walk there, so every Thursday it is! Its a perfect fit for him cus they have issues like him. The 2nd week we went he volunteered to be the speaker!!! Which is a huge improvement for him!
