Annual Health and Medical Record form changes

2/28/2011

 
Effective 3/1/11 – Annual Health and Medical Record forms have been updated/changed.  Also, effective immediately Part C MUST be signed/stamped by a certified and licensed health care provider – physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. (See below) 

New forms are available on the Boy Scouts of America website.  If your Scouts forms are currently valid nothing will change at this moment although there is a chance that it will be necessary to update forms for Camp this summer.  Still waiting for a final decision. I’ll keep in touch.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 508-238-4147.  Thanks, Louise ~

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

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.
