Hunter has been rejected from the boy scouts because of his autism;

Red Bank, members of the District, and members of our committee have talked on separate occasions about Hunter’s progress and needs for scouts. At this time since he is not able to fully participate in all functions of den activity, it was decided he may need to wait on scouts for some time in the future. Our experience with Autism is limited and has taken a toll on all leaders in the pack and has taken the interest of scouting away from several scouts who are no longer with us.

It is unfortunate to loose the experience of scouting for other activities, but when interests in scouting are lost it is very difficult to regain. Perhaps sometime in the future Hunter may be able to try again when he is able to fully function in all activities. Since we are in a renewal period and the decision made by the committee, Hunter will not be re-registered for the following year.

When my system is up and running again I will send you a pdf of the his advancement progress.

Thank you for all you and Hunter have done in the pack.

Hunter always looks forward on Mondays when they meet, and other activities that they have, Hunter is going to be very sad, how do you explain to a child that Loves the boy scouts, and can’t go to boy scouts of his medical problem of Autism, its seems Autism has no rights!!! What about the “Bill of Rights Act”???

I was in the boy scouts when I was a child, his father John Jahen.
