All Scouts and Scouters
(Registered Adult Leaders)
In preparation for Summer Camp and all future activities for
Troop 827 it is recommended that all members of the Boy Scouts of
America have periodic medical evaluations by a licensed health-care
practitioner.
In recent years, in an effort to provide better
care to those who may become ill or injured and to provide youth
members and adult leaders a better understanding of their physical
capabilities, the Boy Scouts of America established minimum
standards for providing medical information prior to participating
in various activities.
Please see the Guide to Safe Scouting below and
the appropriate forms.
