Troop 529 Parents are to complete Parts A and B before Part C is completed and signed by a certified and
licensed heath-care provider-physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
Please ignore Part D and any instructions about "high-adventure".
Parts A and B are to be completed at least annually by participants in all Scouting events. This health history,
parental/guardian informed consent and hold harmless/release agreement, and talent release statement is to be
completed by the participant and parents/guardians.
Part C is the physical exam that is required for participants in any event that exceeds 72 consecutive hours,
for all high-adventure base participants, or when the nature of the activity is strenuous and demanding. Service
projects or work weekends may fit this description. Part C is to be completed and signed by a certified and
licensed heath-care provider—physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. It is important
to note that the height/weight limits must be strictly adhered to when the event will take the unit more than
30 minutes away from an emergency vehicle–accessible roadway, or when the program requires it, such as
backpacking trips, high-adventure activities, and conservation projects in remote areas. See the FAQs for when
this does not apply.
Prescriptions
The taking of prescription medication is the responsibility of the individual taking the medication and/or that
individual’s parent or guardian. A leader, after obtaining all the necessary information, can agree to accept the
responsibility of making sure a youth takes the necessary medication at the appropriate time, but BSA does not
mandate or necessarily encourage the leader to do so. Also, if state laws are more limiting, they must be followed.
Note:
Health and Medical Form 680-001, revision 11/2010 will not save data, so use
the newer version of Form 680-001, revision 2/2011 attached.
