BSA Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR)

In order for anyone, adult or Scout, to participate in BSA activities, the troop must have on file an updated BSA Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR), which has three parts: Part A, B1, B2, and C. Full information on the AHMR can be found here: https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/ahmr/ 

Weekend Trips

For activities that are fewer than 72 hours long (hikes, weekend trips), Parts A and B are required, along with a copy of both sides of your insurance card: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_AB.pdf 

Week-long Trips

For activities that are longer than 72 hours (summer camp, high adventure camps), Parts A, B, and C are required, along with both sides of your insurance card: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_ABC.pdf 

TIPS ON FILLING OUT:

• • Part A: Be sure both Participant and Parent/Guardian has signed and dated, as well as "Adults Authorized/Not Authorized" at the bottom. You can put "any T153 leader" if you want for "adults authorized."

  • Part B1: Don't forget to attach a copy of both sides of insurance card

  • Part B2: Immunization Record must include dates for youth. Attaching a printout from your doctor is fine. 

  • Part C: This must be completed by your pediatrician or an Urgent Care doctor, who must sign and date under "Examiner's Certification." For High Adventure trips, this must be completed by a doctor--a physical done by a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant will not suffice.

High Adventure Trips

For High Adventure trips, there are frequently additional forms needed. Please see this website for all AHMR-related information, including for High Adventure trips: https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/ahmr/  

What to Submit, To Whom, and When

When you have your complete Scouting Health Form (AHMR):

• Please make TWO copies of the form:

  • Keep ONE copy for your own records.

  • Give ONE copy to Mr. Nate Walters or Mr. Roger Grey.

• Forms must be updated annually. They are good for one year until the last day of the month that you had your physical. For example, if your physical was on June 16, 2022, that physical is good until June 30, 2023. A form in which the physical was done on August 6, 2022 is good until August 31, 2023.
