We want these on file anyway, and they are required for Summer Camp and the Summer Trip.

Seriously. They literally will not let you stay at camp without one.

Note: You fill out Part A and Part B yourself, and it is pretty easy. You have to get Part C done by your doctor.

Pediatricians are used to this; they do it for camps, teams, and other activities all the time. Just drop it off at their office in an envelope with your Scout's name and your phone number on it.

They typically ask for 10 days or two weeks to turn it around, so do not wait until the last minute. In practice, they usually call you a day or three later to pick it up, but still.

Some offices return it stapled to a print-out of the kid's vaccination schedule. That is fine, as long as there is a signature in the right spot.

We recommend immediately making a copy before handing it over to Crew 99 for scanning and filing.
