(February) Policy on Use of the Annual Health and Medical Record (Valid for 12 calendar months)

In order to provide better care for its members and to assist them in better understanding their own physical capabilities, the Boy Scouts of America recommends that everyone who participates in a Scouting event have an annual medical evaluation by a certified and licensed health-care provider—a physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. Providing your medical information on this four-part form will help ensure you meet the minimum standards for participation in various activities. Note that unit leaders must always protect the privacy of unit participants by protecting their medical information.

Parts A and B are to be completed at least annually by participants in all Scouting events. This health history, parental/guardian informed consent and hold harmless/release agreement, and talent release statement is to be completed by the participant and parents/guardians.

Part C is the physical exam that is required for participants in any event that exceeds 72 consecutive hours, for all high-adventure base participants, or when the nature of the activity is strenuous and demanding. Service projects or work weekends may fit this description. Part C is to be completed and signed by a certified and licensed heath-care provider—physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. It is important to note that the height/weight limits must be strictly adhered to when the event will take the unit more than 30 minutes away from an emergency vehicle, accessible roadway, or when the program requires it, such as backpacking trips, high-adventure activities, and conservation projects in remote areas. See the FAQs for when this does not apply.

Part D is required to be reviewed by all participants of a high-adventure program at one of the national high-adventure bases and shared with the examining health-care provider before completing Part C.

The PADI medical form is also required if scuba diving at the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base.

Scouts and leaders participating in programs of the Tuscarora Council must follow the following guidelines for camp and High Adventure programs. For Cub Scout Resident Camp Parts A & B will be required for all Cub Scouts, Webelos, and Adult participants. For Boy Scout Camp parts A, B, and C are required for all Scouts and adult participants. Scouts and leaders participating in High Adventure programs at a National High Adventure Bases must use Parts A, B, C, and follow guidelines in part D.
