CAMPOUT PACKING LISTS

Useful packing list options are listed here:

MEDICAL FORMS

The BSA requires that every person attending a campout or outdoor activity (whether they be a Scout, accompanying adult or visitor) is required to complete Sections A and B of form 680-001. We refer this this as “Medical forms A and B”, which you can download from this link:

If you or your Scout is attending a longer term campout and requires form C, then you need to use the “Medical forms A, B and C” link below. Note that page C requires a doctors approval. It is best to call your pediatrician or doctor and ask if they can handle this as an admin task, or if you need to set up an appointment. Each provider has different processes.

ANNUAL DUES

Annual Troop dues will be $150 per scout, due at the end of October. In addition, each Scout and adult will be responsible for paying their own annual National BSA fee due on their anniversary date.

For 2024 –

  1. $85 for youth in Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Sea Scouting

YOUTH PROTECTION TRAINING (YPT)

The safety and security of our Scouts is of paramount importance. It is mandatory for all BSA-registered volunteers and must be repeated every two years. Training courses are accessible through the my.Scouting.org website (see below).
