Medical Forms

BSA Medical Forms A & B 

BSA Medical Forms A & B are required for any scout to attend overnight, and some other outdoor, programs (the more extensive Part C, which also requires a physical, is NOT required). These are kept by the Committee Chair and not released to anyone else, except in the event of a medical emergency during a Pack event, in which case they can be provided to first responders on the scene. 

Youth Protection

Youth Protection: A Parent's Guide

As a requirement for each Cub Scout rank, a parent must have a conversation with their scout about the five youth protection topics, which can be found midway through the pamphlet linked above. A typical conversation of all five topics lasts about 15 to 20 minutes and can be calibrated to the age and maturity of your scout when it is repeated each year. In the first year, we suggest you read through the exercise topics once on your own before beginning the conversation with your scout.

Protect Yourself (videos and adventures)

Also in every Cub Scout rank there is a requirement for the scout to watch the 15- to 20-minute Protect Yourself video for their grade level OR complete the Protect Yourself adventure with their den. Most dens in Pack 421 do not do the Protect Yourself adventures in den meetings, so it is normally up to the scout to watch the video at home with a parent.

Youth Protection Training (YPT)

Every parent who attends an overnight trip, must complete Youth Protection Training—an online course which takes approx. 72 minutes to complete.
