Medical Forms and Where to Find Them
Every Scout needs a physical within the past 12 months to attend summer camp. No physical = No Summer camp. All three parts (A, B, and C) of the 4-page form must be completed and submitted with a copy of both sides of an insurance card. The form is available here: http://www.scouting.org/
What is Brownsea?
The Brownsea First Year program offers a week-long introduction to the traditions and skills of Scouting in a structured setting. All Scouts below the rank of First Class, attending summer camp for the first time will take part in Brownsea. Scouts meet mornings and afternoons in their Brownsea patrols, work on completing requirements, and still have spare time to spend with their home Troops and for other summer camp activities. Many Scouts return from a week of Brownsea with many of their requirements completed for their Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks.
Merit Badges
All Scouts attending Summer Camp should have time to work on some merit badges, even those attending the Brownsea First Year program. A list of the Merit Badges being offered this year can be found here: http://www.skcscouts.org/wp-
