Camp Physicals and Health forms

Health forms need to be filled out and returned on each boy.  Also physicals are due before your scout can attend camp.  Physicals are good for only three years.  If your scout has not had a physical for three years then he will need a new one in order to attend camp this year.  All new campers are required to have a physical.  You may download the forms off of the website.
