Effective January 1, 2026, all Scouts and adults attending campouts will be required to have a current medical form on file, including Part C with a physician’s signature. As a reminder we require 3 legible copies of the complete medical form. It is always good practice to keep one copy for your own records.
If you submitted a completed medical form for this past summer camp, you are all set until one year from the date that form was signed. You will need a new form for next summer camp, but these can be requested at any time and will remain valid for one year from the date signed.
Updated Forms for Changing Conditions: If you or your child’s medical condition changes at any time (for example, a new diagnosis or change in medication), you may request an updated medical form from your healthcare provider. All medications listed on the form must exactly match any medications brought to campouts, especially summer camp.
New Incentive: Scouts will not be able to sign up for merit badges for summer camp until a fully completed medical form has been submitted. Troop leaders will review medical forms for accuracy within 72 hours of submission. Please note that submitting forms last minute could delay your ability to register for merit badges, as this review step is required. This change is being implemented to eliminate the significant burden last‑minute submissions place on Troop volunteer leadership.

As summer break approaches and Scouts might want to sign up for merit badges Troop 167 Leadership wanted to reiterate the Scouting America policies regarding starting a Merit Badge. Included for your reference are citations from the Guide to Advancement, found online here, https://www.scouting.org/resources/guide-to-advancement/. Please note the online version of the Guide to Advancement always supersedes any printed document as print copies could be out of date.
Before beginning any merit badge, a Scout must first communicate with the Scoutmaster or a designated unit leader (Guide to Advancement [GTA] 7.0.0.3). This applies to all badges—whether through summer camp, virtual classes, merit badge fairs, or other group opportunities. Troop 167 does not currently have an designated leaders for this purpose.
This step does not always require a formal in-person meeting, but the Scoutmaster must be notified ahead of time and given adequate time to respond—not just told after a class is already scheduled or underway.
We have repeatedly reinforced this requirement in troop meetings, during Scoutmaster conferences, at Boards of Review, and through direct emails—especially when Scouts notify us that they’ve signed up for a badge without requesting prior approval.
Why this step matters:
The Scout gets important guidance about the badge, including difficulty, timing, and requirements (GTA 7.0.0.3).
The unit can provide registered, approved counselors (GTA 7.0.1.0, 7.0.1.2, 7.0.1.4).
It opens the door to meaningful conversations about interests, talents, and goals.
Key Requirements (with GTA References):
Notify the Scoutmaster or delegate before starting any merit badge (GTA 7.0.0.3).
Allow time for a response—just informing after the fact is not acceptable.
Counselors must be registered and approved (GTA 7.0.1.0–7.0.1.4).
Group instruction is allowed, but the above steps still apply (GTA 7.0.3.2, 7.0.4.9–7.0.4.12).
Changing counselors also requires notification (GTA 7.0.0.3).
If a Scout skips this process, the badge will not be recorded until verified with an approved counselor and the process is followed (GTA 7.0.0.3).
Our goal is to support Scouts in having positive, growth-filled merit badge experiences. The process matters—and following it ensures fairness, quality, and personal development.
If you’re ready to begin a merit badge, start by asking or emailing first—then wait for a reply.
Troop Adventure Alert: Fall Campout at Massawepie!
We’re heading back to the Adirondacks! This fall, the troop returns to Camp Massawepie, one of our favorite places, for a weekend of adventure, exploration, and unforgettable memories.
Massawepie will serve as our home base as we dive into all the Adirondacks have to offer. Maybe we’ll hike a high peak, maybe our older Scouts will trek out to an outpost, or maybe we’ll just enjoy the quiet beauty and cooler side of camp life. Whatever path you choose, it’s going to be awesome.
The Adirondacks in the fall? There’s nothing quite like it. Crisp air, colorful leaves, and unbeatable scenery. Spots are limited, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this amazing trip.
