Nature’s Dragons Scouts started when our small scouting group decided to separate from another scouting organization. The kids wanted to stay together as a group and we parents realized our group was made up of neurodivergent kids. Most scouting organizations have accommodations, but it tends to be more of an afterthought. As a group of scouts and parents, we decided that a scouting organization that was designed with neurodivergence as the heart was needed. Everyone is welcome, but having an organization designed to be inclusive and a safe space to grow and learn at each scout’s own pace ensures that no one is lost or forgotten.
The scouts from the original group chose the name Nature’s Dragon Scouts. We welcome scouts of all identities including but not limited to:
- Neurodivergent
- LGBTQIA2S+
- Immigrant, migrant or refugee
- Non-denominational, humanist, secular, Atheist or Pagan
We are non-partisan, secular (though we do offer faith-based badge awards), and provide a safe and welcoming environment where our scouts can freely express themselves. Everything we do serves to help scouts learn a little more about themselves, including learning life skills, human values, and about themselves. Our scouts connect with nature and the world around them, and have fun doing it.
Welcome to an alternative, inclusive scouting experience!
