ell to create an achievement badge
for physically handicapped scouts in
recognition of certain requirements,
which badge will permit them to take
subjects without modification. The
present decision nowise moderates
or lowers the regularly prescribed
standards of scouting; 1t rather rep
resents a means by which physically
disabled scouts may be encouraged
to maximum achievement.
To qualify for the achievement
badge the scout will proceed as for
second and first class rank, except
that he shall also present a written
physician addressed to the local
court of honor explaining the ap-
parent physical disability which
makes 1t impossible for him to meet
the prescribed requirements. 1t is
further recommended that scouts
ma king application for the new
achievement badge be encouraged to
exercise their own initiative and
judgment in devising and passing
some test within their physical ca
pacity as evidence Of their scout
spirit and their eagerness to develop
to the fullest their abilities.
The achievement badge is to be in
both metal and cloth. The cloth
badge is to be worn on the sleeve
with any merit badge subsequently
awarded. Because of the many R ap-
cient scouts, displaying In their daily
lives highest ideals of scouting. but
who because of physical handicaps
have been hindered in official ad-
vancement in rank, the/organization,
Grafton, has arrived at the foregoing
decision.
