National has and is granting special charters to units serving a special need among the youth, this is not new or all that unusual anymore. Even when I was a DE years ago, before Venturing, I had an Explorer post in one of my districts that was a coed martial arts unit specifically to work with at risk youth, but they were open to any youth. Last year on a visit to my former district I was happy to see that unit was still in exsistence, had significantly grown in size. The unit also uses the martial arts philosophy in teaching the kids self discipline and anger control.

 

So this AZ unit sounds like they have found a special need in their community youth which they are trying to fill. The BSA could shut down this unit anytime it wants to, time will tell.
