Boy Scouts says it will accommodate disabled Scouts, like the one from Utah whose family is suing

The Boy Scouts of America has issued a statement saying it is willing to make accommodations to give all Scouts the ability to reach whichever rank they desire.

The statement comes days after a 15-year-old Payson boy said officials revoked all the badges he had earned since graduating Cub Scouts while on his way to realizing his dream of being an Eagle Scout.

Logan Blythe and his family say the Scouts did so because Logan has Down syndrome. His local Scout leaders modified some of the requirements for the merit badges to make them more achievable.
