Boy Scout Troop for Disabled Boys

 Hello, I am just writing you to let you know about a special program that my husband and I started for special needs children. It is a boy scout troop for disabled children. Whether physical, mental, developmental or learning disabled all are welcome. It is for boys in Broward and surrounding counties that are 7-18 years old. We will be doing everything the other scouts do just in a modified way to accommodate for their special needs.

We are working very closely with: Bill Gilliland, District Executive, South Florida Council,

BSA 954-584-4200 www.sfcbsa.org

We will be having our meetings at 7:00 on Thursdays at the American Legion Post 222. We do require that at least one parent or other responsible adult is present at all times during out meetings and events.

For more information or to join please email or call me at: Teresa Julian

Any support groups in Ft. Lauderdale, FL for families with children who are deaf homeschooling? Hi, I was wondering if you have any members in the Ft. Lauderdale area. We have a son who we adopted and is deaf. We are trying to find some friends who have a somewhat similar situation and have not been able to find any. Do you know of any support groups in this area for NATHHAN members? HMS David@aol.com
