Welcome to Troop 58!
You have made a great decision to be a part of Scouting in Davidson!
Yearly Membership Checklist (ALL SCOUTS - returning, new and transfer). New and Transfer members have additional checklist items below.
Complete a full BSA Health Form, (Parts A, B, and C) which includes a physical exam by a certified medical practitioner. Please bring two copies of the health form, current immunization record and health insurance card to the troop meeting. Parts A and B are needed every year. Part C can be submitted before longer trips, like summer camp.
Important Health Form Tips:
-
Families should keep a copy so they have it for scouting events attended outside of troop.
-
Health Forms expire annually. They are good through the end of the month they are dated.
Please make sure troop gets 2 new copies when you renew it. -
Tetanus is required within the past 10 years.
