Aims of Agoonoree

Since one of the main aims of the Scout Association is the integration of all Scouts; as a matter of principle we would wish the Scout with special needs to attend his/her regular troops' summer camp if at all possible.

If this is not feasible, or if it is beneficial for the Scout to have two summer camps, then the Agoonoree Camp is there to help. Thus the camp has two main objectives:

1) To enable the Scout to have a summer camp that cannot be provided by their regular section secondly to enable that Scout's carer to have "a week off".

2) The camp is available to all members of the Scout Association, including members of Scoutlink groups and usually numbers about 120 persons in all, slightly under half of whom have special needs.
