Health Form Update

Each year, we are required to update our Health Forms for all registered youth and adult members of Troop 194. Please complete sections A, B of the All Scouting Events Medical Form, and then turn it in to the Scoutmaster or Committee Chair. Only those members who have valid Health and Medical Forms will be permitted to participate in campouts starting in February.

For Summer Camp participation (or events > 72 hours) the additional Section C of the Medical Form is required, and must be signed by a physician. All BSA Health and Medical Forms, including high adventure camps, can be found at Health & Safety at Scounting.org
