I promised everyone that I would include a bunch of links here, but I'd like to start with the chart, below. This is The Symptom Tree, and it provides some pretty clear information about when to stay home from Scout meetings and outings. This is part of the new Denver Area Council Peaceful Valley summer camp paperwork, and I like it. I think that we should follow it for regular meetings and outings, too, with the understanding that you should not exhibit any of these symptoms within 48 hours of departure without masking by medication. That'll save everyone a lot of hassle and misery.
Also, for each activity, we will be asking you the following questions:
1. In the last 14 days, have you had contact with anyone who has tested positive or is presumed positive for COVID-19?
2. In the last 14 days, have you had contact with anyone has had influenza-like illness or been otherwise sick?
3. In the last 14 days, have you or anyone you have been in close contact with traveled on a cruise ship, internationally, or to an area that is currently under travel restrictions?
If the answer to any of the above questions is "Yes", stay home.
4. Are you in a higher-risk category as defined by the CDC guidelines?
(If yes, we recommend you stay home. Should you choose to participate, you must understand the risks of coming to camp and that getting COVID-19 or any other communicable disease cannot be completely avoided and that it may happen.)
Now, back to our regularly-scheduled blog entry:
For this weekend's shooting sports campout, you will need the following forms completed:
If you do not have a current BSA Medical Record on file with the Troop (Mike and Joey Wells), please bring a completed Annual Health and Medical Record Parts A & B. This one does not require a physical examination by a doctor.
From Troop 324 Forms
- 324-EMERGENCY_INFORMATION.pdf (MUST COMPLETE once and provide to Mike Wells; update as necessary)
- 324-Permission_Slip_Scout.pdf (youth only)
- 324-Permission_Slip_Adult.pdf (adults only)
The permission slips must be completed for every activity.
Handy-dandy trick - I do this, but your mileage may vary; void where prohibited:
- Complete everything not inside a box - it isn't likely to change.
- Make 12 - 15 copies of that half-completed form..
- Put those copies back into the printer so that the back side of those copies will be printed upon next.
- Youth form: Scan each youth's health insurance card onto that side.
- Adult form: Scan your health and driving insurance cards onto that side.
Then, for every campout, you need only complete the stuff inside the boxes. Woohoo!
Summer Camp at PV
If you still owe a balance, please bring payment to Mike at tonight's meeting, 22 June, 2020.
For PV, you will need to complete the following forms. You *WILL NOT* be allowed in camp without them. If you can get them done and and bring them to Monday's meeting, that would be great. We understand that scheduling the physical exam isn't always that easy, but you really need to get started.
DAC PV Forms are here.
