Health Forms
Every Scout and adult attending Yawgoog must have a BSA health form. Health forms and troop rosters must be furnished upon check-in on Sunday afternoon - or they will not be allowed to stay on the Reservation.
The health form must be filled out completely, including the following, listed below:
a. Parental Signature - For those under 18 years of age, this gives us the approval for emergency treatment or surgery in the case of an accident or serious illness.
b. Doctor’s Signature - Each Scout and adult must have a medical exam given within 12 months of going to camp. No examinations will be given at camp. Many health care offices will only provide a printout from their office rather than fill out part c of the BSA health form. This form is acceptable as a substitute for the Doctor filling out that potion of the health form. This can be stapled to the BSA form
c. Health and Restriction Information - Include all information relating to the individual’s health, including medications, restrictions, allergies and other pertinent information.
d. Health Insurance Information - Be sure to include the insurance carrier and policy number on the health form as well a copy of the insurance card.
e. Vaccination Information - A current (within 10 years) tetanus shot is necessary and should be noted on the health form.
f. If a Scout or leader has an examination form from another source, we will accept it as the examination portion only. Fill out a standard health form completely, with the exception of the physician’s portion, and attach to the bottom of the other form. This allows the treatment record to be the back page.
