Annual Health & Medical Forms for ALL Participants

Now is the time to review your existing Annual Health and Medical Records on file for your Scouts AND participating members of their family. The Scouting adventure, camping trips, high-adventure excursions, and having fun are important to everyone in Scouting—and so is your safety and well-being. If you are joining us at the Camporee, you must have updated medical forms for all attendees!

National Summertime Pack Award

The National Summertime Pack Award is made to encourage a pack to be active when school is out for the summer, by doing one activity per month in June, July, and August. This is an individual recognition for Scouts; however, a Pack can qualify for the certificate and flag streamer by planning and conducting three summertime pack activities. Our National Summertime Pack Award Unit Planner has been updated for 2023!
