BSA National Guidelines for all Scouting Activities
Troop Leaders refer to this document to confirm all requirements for the various types of outings. This is a good document to review so that you understand the requirements we must have in place for a safe scouting experience for the boys.

Annual Health Record

2011 New Forms Released - Please use these new forms at your next physical!

Part-A-B     This is the portion that you fill out and sign with the person's medical history.                                                     Example Part A-B
                    Please update at the time of the annual physical.
                    Please provide a photocopy of the front and back of your Family Health Insurance Card.

Part-C        This is the portion that you give to your medical practitioner.                                                                               Example Part C

Part-D        You will not need this form unless your son is participating in a High Adventure Outing at one of the National Camps.

It is a requirement of the Boy Scouts of America that the Annual Health and Medical Record must be completed by a Health Care Provider for any activity longer than 72 hours (i.e. summer camp) or that involves strenous activity (ex. rock climbing, rafting, etc.). When we are in a location where help may be delayed longer than 30 minutes, it is very important to understand the complete medical condition of your son.  For these reasons, it is a policy of Troop 534 that we must have a Medical Form on file that includes a Health Care Provider review (part C) for all scouts to attend any of our outings.

This form is required for all registered adult leaders who attend outings or summer camp. We strongly recommend that any parent/guardian camping with us have a completed Health Record. Even if you are not a registered leader.

These forms are only available for review by the Troop Health Officer and by Troop Leaders responsible for outings. The forms travel with the Troop Leader in charge.

Parts A& B of the Annual Health and Medical Record must be updated every year.  These are Adobe Form Fillable files.  You can save them to your computer.

• Current Health Form Status Report

Check here to know when your son's health form needs updating.
There are two dates. One is the date you updated the Health History. The other date is when the doctor completed a health exam.

Medication Log

Scouts who require medications when attending overnight outings must have a medication log completed by a parent or guardian. Scout Leaders must be aware of all prescriptions, over the counter medicines, homeopathic medicines, or vitamins used by the scout. This information would need to be provided to health care professionals in case of emergency.

Special storage requirements (ex. refrigeration) must be discussed in advance with the Leaders responsible for the trip. Scout Leaders will not administer any prescription medications. They will provide safe storage for medicines and oversee the scout when they are taking their medications.

Unlabelled containers (ex. a bag of pills) are not acceptable. All medications should be placed in a zip lock bag with the scout's name clearly marked.
