They fill up their trays as much as they can, because they are at least certain of eating well for that meal. It connected very much with my wife, because she had an experience while providing a tour for an inner-city class of students. Her organisation provides lunch as part of these facillity tours. One youngster came to her and asked quietly if he could take one of the extra lunches home to his mother, because they had no food at home, and she had not eaten for a few days. It could very well be the nation where you are sitting and reading this.

Please tell us. Most Scout Groups have at least one child or young adult who has ADD, ADHD, or a learning disability, such as dyslexia. Many Leaders have little or no formal training in working effectively with these children, yet we are asked to cope appropriately with their problems daily. Since most of our Scout Leader Training courses are not very helpful, we have added a discussion and some links to additional resources that will help you learn how to develop teaching, coping, and counseling skills that will aid you in providing a quality Scouting experience for these challenged youngsters. There is a lot of tradition in the Scout Movement around the world.
