Jamboree Medical Forms
The Jamboree committee received information from National that parents and contingent troop leaders need to contact the Jamboree medical unit, via email, about missing medical forms, problems with passwords or need to have the password e-mail resent. Please accept our apology this delay may have caused.
Please follow these instructions:
The National Jamboree registration must be completed before a medical form and password are sent. If you registered your son, or as a contingent troop leader, after October please contact Dan Garvin at 530-822-9275 to verify the council has processed the approval in through the council registration system. Dan will advise you on what to do next, either to wait a couple of weeks or send an e-mail the Jamboree medical unit.
If you have not completed the National Jamboree registration, please do so then contact Dan Garvin so he can expedite the approval process through the registration system. Again he will advice you on the next step.
Once the registration system is updated with council approval, a medical record (form and password) will be generated automatically in about two weeks. It will come to the e-mail address you have entered in your registration.
If the registration was completed prior to October, parents or troop leaders need to send an email to jamboree.medical@scouting.org 
and include the name and member ID (BSA ID number) of you or your son, not the Jamboree registration code. Due to high volume, please allow up to two weeks for processing.
Other hints for making this a better experience:
- If you did not set up jamboree.medical@scouting.org as a safe sender, you need to check your junk mail and spam filters now.
- Mac users, please open the medical record with Adobe Reader 9, not in preview mode.
- The password that you will receive is case-sensitive. Many users have found cutting and pasting the password is easiest for them. To date we have yet to find a technical issue that does not allow the medical record to be opened with the assigned password when entered correctly.
- We suggest you download Adobe Reader 9 if you do not have it. It’s available for free; we consider that pretty thrifty: http://get.adobe.com/reader
. - If you have your spam filter in place and have not added jamboree.medical@scouting.org to your sender list, please correct this issue before you ask for another record.
- The confidentiality of your information is important to us. Thus, the medical record is password-protected and encrypted. If you have a .mil address or a policy in place that does not allow encrypted password-protected documents to pass, we suggest you update your or your son’s registration to include a personal e-mail address that will allow the attachment through. We know the Army is filtering these records.
- If you notice incorrect information after you open the file, type over it and print out the record.
- Please complete the record as it was current at the time the physical exam is performed.
- Parents, you should get a copy of your son’s medical record. If you used the same e-mail address for both of you, that is why you got two copies.
- We understand some of you inadvertently deleted the forms. This is not a problem. If you cannot recover it, send us an e-mail and we will resend. We ask your request include the name and member ID of you or your son, not the registration code. Please request this via jamboree.medical@scouting.org . Due to high volume, please allow up to two weeks for processing.
- Please review the FAQs for further information about the Jamboree Health and Medical Record form.
The medical information and password, separate e-mails, will be sent to the e-mail address you have entered in your registration. YOU control what that e-mail is. You may verify it yourself via www.myscouting.org .
- Log on to your MyScouting account.
- Select Event Registration.
- Select National Scout Jamboree.
- Select the appropriate EDIT form.
- Enter your registration code, including the dashes (the 20-digit number on your confirmation).
- This will open your application and you can update your e-mail, etc.
Please contact me or Dan if there any questions.
Thanks for your help and support,
