Retired Col and our own Troop 219 ASM, Roger Nevells will be the point of contact on site who will provide scouts and families with instructions. YIS LOU Rivera-Murray Hello Troop 219 Families -
This is a reminder that the BSA Health Forms Parts A, B & C will be needed for Summer Camp. This form includes a physical that must be completed by a healthcare provider. If your physical expires at any point prior to July 12, 2015 - you need a new physical. Please note that is not acceptable to submit a different physical form attached to the BSA form. I have received a few new forms, and hopefully there are more to come. The deadline for our Troop members to have their forms completed is June 7, 2015. If your scout is not participating in summer camp, there is less of a push for forms, but you do need to make sure your scout’s physical is up-to-date (or still valid) prior to the scout’s participation in any event lasting 72 hours or more. I have sent forms out previously and they are also available on the Troop website. I will be at Joy Lutheran today at 4:30 p.m. if any families need to bring health forms to the church prior to the troop swim event. **This does not in any way mean medical forms are needed for today’s event.** Thank you for your time.
