Forms and FAQs

About these forms

If you have questions about what documents are needed for registration as a scout or leader, for an event, or for a camping excursion, ask the event SPL or Troop SPL for help. Forms need to be completed and turned in to the troop prior to going on an event. Some high adventure bases have their own additional forms, such as for SCUBA diving.
