Reaching Out
This publication on extending Scouting to 'People with Disabilities' by WOSM covers various areas required to support policy/decision makers in National Scout Organizations as well as leaders in local Scout Groups.
Guidelines on Scouting for People with Disabilities is an extension of the resources WOSM has published in past to support this area, 'We Can' (1989) & 'Scouting with the Disabled' (2000). Whether it is regular Scouting activities or a large Scout event, like a Jamboree, people with disabilities can be easily included, with some targeted modifications and adaptations to the programme. The document includes guiding principles and practical hints and strategies to support Scouting for people with disabilities.

Extending Scouting to working children, children living and working on the streets and children from ethnic minority communities has been successfully achieved by some NSOs. The Guidelines on Scouting for Children in Especially Difficult Circumstances (CEDC), enriched from these experiences in NSOs, provides practical advice and support on recruiting young people, developing resilience in these young people and the special focus needed on child protection.
