A new Boy Scout troop for youth with special needs was recently established in Kalispell.
Scout Troop 1950 is chartered by the Children’s Development Center of Kalispell and was created to allow children with special needs to experience Scouting at their own pace.
Its inaugural activity will be leading the flag ceremony at the opening ceremonies of the upcoming Special Olympics.
If you know a child who could thrive in this unit or if you would like to volunteer, contact Matt Covey, at matthew.covey@scouting.org.
