a Wolf Elective Adventure

Requirements:
Complete at least four of the following Requirements.
- With other members of your den, try using a wheelchair or crutches, and reflect on the process.
- Learn about a sport that has been adapted so that people in wheelchairs or with some other physical disability can play, and tell your den about it.

A. Tying your shoes

C. Playing a card game
D. Playing a video game
