                        First, make sure you work with a parent or guardian tocomplete the pamphlet in the front of the Scout Handbook.

To make sure our Scouts can be treated should the need arise. The Medical Consent Authority  (parts A and C) must be filled out prior to a Scout’s first trip with the Troop.

Before each activity a Scout should bring home an Activity Commitment & Payment Form.  Here's the template.

If you check the online calendar, you should find aprintable slip for each activity that you can bring to the meeting.  We will try to have permission slips and any available electronic details linked above the actual calendar.
