Medical Form

The BSA has an annual medical form that needs to be turned in to unit leadership each and every year just to participate in regular troop meetings. This would be medical form parts A and B. Part A is important because it serves as a permission slip of sorts, and part B is important because it alerts the troop leadership of allergies, asthma, and other medical conditions that can pose a risk to a scout's health during an activity.

Part C is required for any activity over three days long. This would be summer resident camp or a three day weekend trip. This form requires a doctor's signature, so please add it to your plans for your scout's annual checkup.
