Medical forms
Every Scout, and every adult who takes part in activities, turns in the Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record each year, with a copy of their current medical insurance card. The forms are good for one year. Download the form.
The parts of the form
- Parts A and B. Everyone fills these out. A and B must be on file before a Scout or adult goes on any Troop activity.
- Part C. Needed before any outing of 72 hours or more, including summer camps (Camp Oljato, Camp Emerald Bay) and high adventure bases (Philmont, Northern Tier). A physician must sign it. New first-year Scouts do not need Part C right away, but do need it for summer camp.
- Part D. Needed for high adventure. Your doctor reviews it before completing Part C.
How to turn them in
- Fill in Parts A and B yourself, carefully. Every field must be completed, including immunizations. Summer camps are strict and will send Scouts home with an incomplete form, so the Troop checks every one. Going over the form yourself saves back and forth.
- Copy both sides of your insurance card onto a single page.
- Hand the forms and the card copy to the medical forms coordinator at one of the first meetings. Please do not staple them.
- If you need Part C, book the doctor's appointment early. A primary care doctor will often complete it if they have seen your Scout in the last twelve months. Plan to turn Part C in by May 1 if you are going to summer camp or a high adventure trip.
Forms must be on file before your first outing with the Troop.
Check your status
The Troop's medical records app shows whether your family's forms are current and when they expire. Open it from the Troop dashboard. It is your responsibility to keep your records up to date and to turn in new forms before the old ones expire.
