To ensure the safety of all participants an Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR), with a completed exam and medical provider’s signature dated within the past year, is required for all Scouts and leaders regardless of their length of stay in camp.
Following the Scouts BSA national guidelines, only the official Scouts BSA Annual Health and Medical Record form will be accepted. School forms and sports physical forms cannot be accepted (even if stapled to the official Annual Health and Medical Record).
New in 2023: Your Troop must bring printed copies of the Annual Health and Medical Record forms to camp. Your forms will not be returned at the end of the week. This is due to Indiana State Law requiring the retention of these records. In addition, we request that you do not send these to camp ahead of time.
Health Form Review
Action Requested: As the camp coordinator, we ask that you check and review your Troop’s AHMR forms before arrival at camp. Please check for the following common errors/omissions:
Missing date under the medical provider’s signature
Date outside of 12-month window
Missing medical provider’s signature
Missing parent/guardian signature
Missing immunization record and dates
Missing health insurance card copy
As a part of the check-in process each individual form will be checked with the Scout or Adult present and a verbal health questionnaire will be completed. Any errors or omissions with the form will be discovered at this time. The Health Officer will work with your Troop leadership to assist you in correcting these errors for your Scouts/Leaders. This may include facilitating a visit to an Urgent Care clinic.
