BSA MEDICAL FORM FOR SUMMER CAMP, ORDER OF THE ARROW AND OTHER BSA EVENTS BSA requires that all Scouts and adults have a physical form updated annually. The form must be current within one (1) year of arrival at camp and the health history must be updated within 90 days before arrival at camp. IMPORTANT - ALL SCOUTS AND ADULT ATTENDING CAMP MUST SUBMIT TWO COPIES OF THE MEDICAL FORM. One will be kept by the camp. The other will be given back to the troop. This form can also be used by Scout attending any other BSA event such as Order of the Arrow. However, a separate copy must be made for each event. The entire form is now and interactive PDF. Parents are encouraged to download a copy for each son, enter pertinent data on the computer and save it for future use. This should make future medical forms much easier. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE DETAILS ON THE FORM! WITH OVER 60 SCOUTS GOING TO TWO DIFFERENT CAMPS, WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO RETURN EACH FORM FOR CORRECTION! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MIKE MONIZ ON EVEREST Several people have asked for updates on Mike Moniz, ASM and his attempt to summit Mt.
