| Which Medical Form do I need?
All of our camp programs require health forms for every camper, parent, staff and leaders attending camp. Camp programs require specific forms according to BSA Standards and the State of Maine camp rules! Here are some helpful reminders for health forms!
All adult and youth participants need a Class I health form.
All youth and leaders attending need a Class I health form.
All youth and *leaders need a Class I and II health form. Adults over the age of 40 need a Class III. Please note- that even though the BSA Class II form says it is for camp stays of over 72 hours - All Webelos still need it completed - as the State of Maine camp rules require the Class II form.
*Leaders staying in camp for less than 72 hours can use a Class I health form but will not be allowed to go swimming or use the boats.
All youth and *leaders need a Class I and Class II health form. Adults over 40 need a Class III.
*Leaders staying in camp for less than 72 hours can use a Class I health form but will not be allowed to go swimming or use the boats.
All participants must have a completed Class III health form which requires a doctors physical within the last twelve months.
| What are the different forms for? |
Class I health form includes a health history, immunization dates and parent/guardian signature (signed and dated within the last 12 months) for permission to treat in an emergency. No doctor's physical exam is needed.
Class II health form includes Class I information, updated within 12 months of the date of attending camp, along with a doctors physical exam done within the last three years of date of attending camp. Youth and adults (under age 40) can use this form.
Class III Health form includes health history, immunization dates, emergency permission to treat and doctors evaluation done within past 12 months of attending camp. This form is required for high adventure programs and for adults over the age of 40.
Please make sure that immunization dates are noted on all health forms. It is not acceptable under State of Maine camp rules and regulations to put "up to date."
Blank copies of health forms can be found in the back of the Pine Tree Council Calendar or on this page under the Cub Scout/Boy Scout logos.
Your camp literature will tell you where to send your health forms. Please send your forms out so that they arrive at least two weeks prior to your arrival at camp. This allows the health officer time to preview the forms for missing signatures or information.
Please keep a copy for your unit records and bring an extra copy (photocopies are acceptable) with you to camp to be prepared for late mail or missing forms.
