NOTES:

We Need Your Support!
To keep our campouts and events running smoothly, we rely on all of our families to pitch in. When just a few carry the weight, it’s tough to keep the momentum going. Please take a moment to sign up here so we can plan ahead and keep offering these awesome experiences for our Scouts. Find your role & sign up here.

Reminder: Always CC Another Adult in Scout Communications
As a reminder, whenever a Scout and a leader communicate via email, it is essential to always CC another registered adult or a parent/guardian. This practice is a core part of Scouting’s Youth Protection guidelines.
Report YPT Violations: call or text 1-844-SCOUTS1

BSA Medical forms are found here - youth & adult participants need forms A & B for overnights less than 72 hours + part C (signed by doctor) if more than 72 hours.
