MEDICAL FORMS

For summer camp, the following forms need to be completed and submitted before camp. Please submit all forms to TBD.

Every Scout, adult, and visitor staying overnight is required to submit an official “BSA Annual Health and Medical Record” with parts A, B, and C completed upon arrival to camp. A completed form includes a copy of the participant’s medical insurance card. This form requires an annual update by a certified and licensed healthcare provider. This form must be updated and signed within 12 months of the date you will leave for camp. Only submit copies of medical forms; do not submit originals.

Medical Forms


 Departure:

We will be meeting at the Naperville DMV at TBD on Sunday, July 10. We are planning for a 9 – 9:30 AM departure. Please eat breakfast before we depart the Naperville DMV and we will stop for lunch on the way. Please have lunch money with you … separate from your camp stash. Also, remember to save some cash for the lunch stop on the way home.

Early Departure (if required)

Any Early Departure from Long Lake must be coordinated with Mrs. Simkins / Matt Jones before the start of camp. A special Early Dismissal Form will be required. Please contact Mrs. Simkins / Matt Jones to coordinate an early dismissal.

Food / Dietary Restrictions:

Indicate any food or dietary restrictions on summer camp registration. If you have any questions regarding meals, contact Mrs. Simkins / Matt Jones.


$$MONEY$$:

There will be a banker box with us at camp. We will collect money on Sunday before we leave the parking lot. Please put an envelope for your camp money addressed with your name, troop 75, and CAMP MONEY. Some things to include in your budget: Don’t forget to include money for other daily treats and other goodies at the trading post. The troop recommends $50.

Other costs will be listed here later as determined.

Medicine:

Please place all meds in a Ziploc baggie WITH a copy of the medication sheet from the health form. ALL meds will be given to TBD before we leave. Please keep all inhalers and EPI pens accessible with the scout. TBD will want to quickly review with you and your parent, so don’t just hand your baggie in and leave. Meds at this camp will be stored in a locked container at our campsite and administered by TBD.
