Whether that's with special educational needs, disabilities or medical needs. Support might be temporary such as an illness or accident (for example a young person who has a broken leg) or support might be long-term (for example a developmental disability such as Cerebral Palsy). Information and guidance can be found on our HQ website here. Or you can email our Support Team who are more than happy to help at Support@BandHScouts.org.uk.
