Hello Troop 219 Families, If you are new to our Troop - Welcome! If this is your scout's first event with our Troop, or the first one you’ve attended in over 1 year, please complete the attached BSA Health Form, Part A&B and bring it to the church tonight. This form does not require a physical exam by a healthcare provider. If you are an Assistant Scoutmaster or other registered adult, and this is the first event you’re assisting on, please fill out the attached form and bring it to the church tonight. In the case of the Rocket Launch, assisting does not mean attending to observe. If you will be launching, setting up equipment or operating the snow machine to pick up rockets and you have not filled out the attached form in the past year, please do so. Thank you for your assistance. Brandi Estes Troop 219 Health Information Coordinator ![]()
