Hi, all,
It’s that time of the year: medical forms update.
For scouts:
I should have your class 1 or class 3 medical forms on file that must be up to date within 24 months. Class 3 is much preferred (and that’s what I have for most of you) and it is a must for anyone planning to attend the upcoming summer camp.
If there have been any changes to your medical history (including allergies) or your insurance company since your last updated form, please send me an updated class 3 form.
For summer campers, it is essential to have your class 3 forms to be valid throughout the entire camping period. 8/18/2007 is the last day of our summer camp. Therefore, your class 3 medical form (and hence your last physical exam) must be no earlier than 8/17/2005.
I will be sending out individual emails later this week to remind those who must update.
For adults:
If you plan on doing any overnight trip with the scout troop, you should have a class 3 medical form on file with me that is current within 24 months for those of you who are under the age of 40, and within 12 months for those who are 40 or over (yes, sort of age discrimination but it’s for your own good.) In particular, if you plan to stay overnight at the summer camp (even for one night), your class 3 form should be valid within 12 (or 24 if you are a “young” parent) months at the time of your stay.
Summer camp:
All scout medical form updates should be completed within the next three weeks, so that we can send the forms to the summer camp staff. So, please help me by sending me the updates and responding to my email later on this week.
Thanks,
Franco Wong
NOTE: The Class 3 Medical Form can be found in the Information Sheet at the “Sign up for Summer Camp” post.
