Annual Health and Medical Record

We wanted to remind all of our Scouts, Leaders, and Parents that it's very important that all Scouts and Leaders have a current medical form on file with the Troop.  The form consists of 3 parts (A, B, & C) and should be updated at least annually.  

All participants, in all Scouting activities, must have a completed Part A and Part B on file.  This applies to all activities, day camps, local tours, and weekend camping trips less than 72 hours.

  • Part A is an informed consent, release agreement, and authorization that needs to be signed by every participant (or a parent and/or legal guardian for all youth under 18).
  • Part B is general information and a health history.

For anyone going to summer camp, a pre-participation physical is needed for resident, tour, or trek camps or for a Scouting event of more than 72 hours, such as Wood Badge and NYLT.  The exam needs to be completed by a certified and licensed physician (MD, DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.

  • Part C is your pre-participation physical certification.

You can find the current Annual Health and Medical Record by visiting:

www.scouting.org/health-andsafety/ahmr/

Select the 'Download Form' button next to 'Are You Going to Camp?' to get the full 3 part form.

Scouts should give their completed forms to one of the Scoutmasters to be kept in a secure location.  If you have any questions or concerns, please see one of the Troop leaders.
