Medical Forms – it’s annual Refresh time

Instructions for EVERYONE (including new/crossover scouts):

All registered Scouts and Adults need to turn in a refreshed Medical Form, Parts A+B1+B2, which includes a copy of your insurance card (front and back).

Instructions for Summer Camp attendees:

In addition to the items under “Everyone”, all Scouts attending Summer Camp and any Adults spending the night at Summer Camp will need to have Part C completed and signed by a doctor. Please note the due date below and schedule your appointment to turn in your form before the deadline. Many pediatricians will allow you to drop off the form if they have seen your child recently.

Instructions for High Adventure attendees:

In addition to the items under “Summer Camp”, everyone attending the HA Trip need to bring Part D to their Part C physical.

Medical Forms Due Date:

June 11th. You can turn in your updated medical form at any regular Tuesday meeting.

Med forms for non-Troop activities:

If your Scout will be participating in any Scouting events individually (NYLT, OA, Camp staff, 2nd week at summer camp, etc) it is recommended that you make a second copy of their med form to use for these events. The Troop can’t “loan out” the completed medical forms, as the forms have a tendency to get lost or forgotten. The Troop needs to maintain these for all troop activities and campouts.

Rescue meds reminder:

If your Scout has rescue medications (such as inhalers or Epi-pens), please make sure they are un-expired.
