Instructions for EVERYONE (including Thunderbirds) 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.
Medical Forms Due Date June 13th. 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.

Summer camp 2019 will be July 7-13. Mark your calendars now because camp is celebrating it’s 100th year and it’s bound to be FUN.
Trailblazer
Scouts that took Trailblazer (Hot heads) at Summer camp should bring their handbooks to the Troop meeting. They learned many Scout skills and we want to test those skills and sign off, while it’s still fresh. If your Scout can’t the meeting, we will get this done at their next meeting.
Blue cards
Keep those blue cards safe! Blue cards for incomplete badges (partials) were returned to the Scouts at the end of camp. Blue cards are used to track a Scout’s progress towards a Merit Badge. They are the only record of what requirements have been completed and if lost, the work will have to be repeated. Note: The blue cards for merit badges completed at camp were given directly to our Advancement chair so they can be presented at our next COH.
Partial Merit Badges
Scouts have several options for finishing their incomplete merit badges. They can return to camp during camp open time and work with their Summer camp counselor to complete their requirements (call ahead to coordinate). The Troop also has counselors for many of the merit badges, especially Eagle required badges (see the list below). Finally, Scouts can work with any qualified counselor to complete their badge. I can provide a list of qualified counselors to Scouts that ask.
