National Council has updated the Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR) forms, 680-001_AB and 680-001_ABC.  You can download PDFs of the new forms from Scouting.org using this link.

You do not have to fill out a new form just because it's 2020. An old form filled out in 2019 is valid through the end of the 12th month after the date the form was signed.  (e.g. A form completed any time in June 2019 will be valid until 30 June 2020.)

All new Scouts and Scouters should use the new form.  Anyone replacing an expired form should also use the new form.

How can you tell a new form from an old form?  The new forms say "2019 Printing" in the lower right corner of each page while the old forms say
"2014 Printing."

For more information, please read the post There's an updated Annual Health and Medical Record to use in 2020 on the "Bryan on Scouting" blog.

The Guide to Safe Scouting has been updated.  The August 2019 updates appear in both the online and PDF versions of the guide.

You can find both versions by following this link.

Over the summer, four new District Executives joined the Great Trail Council, and one DE switched to a district closer to home.
