Medical Form Procedures & Hints

All Scouts attending summer camp MUST have a completed Class 3 medical form.

This includes adults who will be spending more than 48 hours in camp OR who want to swim or boat.

Location of the Form

Find the Class 3 Medical form at http://www.scouting.org/forms/

Form Process

1. Download the form and fill out Sections I, II. III, IV, and VI as much as possible.

2. Schedule the medical checkup with your physician.

The scout and adult must have a physical within one year prior to the last day of camp.

For Floodwood, the physical exam must have been AFTER July 19, 2007.

For Turrell it must be AFTER August 2, 2007.

ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS! DON’T EVEN ASK!

3. If you child has had a physical since the cutoff date above, give the form to the Dr’s office to fill out and return.

4. Once you get the form back from the Doctor, review it for completeness.

5. Make a COPY and mail the COPY to Lisa Whittle at 112 Seminole avenue before July 1, 2008 You keep the original, never send the original!

If you can not make the July 1^st date, discuss this with Lisa to keep her from following up with you.

6. All the medical forms will be reviewed by Scout Leaders before summer camp and parents will be given a chance to correct problems. It is far easier to correct mistakes in Oakland a month before the trip than on Sunday in camp.

7. On the first day of summer camp, the medical staff will review each medical form.

If errors exist, you will have 24 hours to fix the errors with your doctor. After 24 hours, your Scout must be removed from camp.

8. At the end of camp, the forms will be returned to the troop.
