Fill Out the Medical Forms
A parent or guardian needs to fill out the annual BSA medical forms A & B (3 pages) for youth members
Note: Don't forget to attach a copy of your insurance card! Immunizations can also be printed/attached from your medical provider.
Drop off hardcopies of the completed BSA Medical Forms to Amy Aubrecht, PCSC Adult Lead Volunteer (email amy.aubrecht@gmail.com for the street address and to coordinate transfer of documents).
04
Fill out parent interest form and member interest form
Parents:
We expect every parent to come to at least two events each semester. While our members plan & lead events, all events require some adult supervision for efficiency and safety. Additionally, this allows our members to work with different adults and gives you visibility to the amazing things that we (and your child) do. We think that you will find these experiences rewarding, insightful, and even motivating and inspiring!
The parent interest form is a required part of the registration process and important to PCSCs ongoing initiative that we have parents volunteer and mentor. You can access the form here.
Members:
We want to learn about your interests!
Please fill out our interest form, which will inform our VPs what events to put on so you can get the most out of being a part of PCSC.
