NEW BSA MEDICAL FORM

The BSA has adopted a new Annual Health & Medical Form.  This new form is available now, but is optional until January 1, 2010.  Part B of this form is completed by a physician annually for all members (youth and adult) and will be required for any activity that exceeds 72 consecutive hours, resident camps or for strenuous and physically demanding activities. In addition, there are new weight restrictions for activities where the Scouts & leaders will be more than 30 minutes away from an area where they could be picked up by an ambulance.  The new form will be required for summer camp and all Order of the Arrow weekends starting next year.
