2021-11-19 Fall Backpacking – Registration


Informed Consent, Release Agreement, and Authorization

 

Activity: Fall Backpacking
Date: November 19-21, 2021

 

Troop 51 will be going on a Fall Backpacking trip in a nearby backpacking area. The location will be selected when we have determined the numbers and skill levels of attendees so that we can ensure all that want to go will be accommodated. Our goal is to select a location that is both nearby (1.5 hours or less) and able to challenge those who are experienced and offer a learning opportunity for those who may be new. We will depart on November 19th at 5:00PM from the upper parking lot of Floris United Methodist Church. Please assemble at 4:30PM. We will return November 21 to Floris Elementary around 11AM unless drivers return Scouts to their homes. Activities on the trip will include: hanging out in the wilderness, backpacking, and camping. Pets are not allowed. Siblings are not allowed.

 

Transportation will be on your own (or as arranged between drivers) and we are driving by private car.

 

All participants (Scouts and adults) will need to bring everything needed in a backpack. The troop will provide instruction on what this means leading up to the event. Depending on the size of attendance, we’ll organize into Patrols to help maintain social distancing and to better organize food. Scouts and adults are asked to wear a mask, maintain social distance, and follow other guidance to be provided by the Troop and current CDC guidance. Use of Scout’s electronic devices during the event for a Scouting purpose MUST be approved by the Scoutmaster. Cell coverage will be weak or spotty. A current (within the last 12 months) BSA health & medical record (Part B) must be on file for all participants. All adults attending must have completed BSA Youth Protection Training (YPT).

 

There is a $40 fee for this trip for each scout and parent attending to cover the cost of food and snacks (note that backpacking food is higher cost than for other campouts - but the camping is free!). COMMITMENT is due No Later than November 1st

Information about those activities may be obtained from the venue, activity coordinators, or local council. I also understand that participation in these activities is entirely voluntary and requires participants to follow instructions and abide by all applicable rules and the standards of conduct. I understand that COVID-19 is also a risk, particularly when gathering in groups; have received Troop guidance pertaining to gathering safely and agree to comply; and acknowledge that “Safe” is NOT the same as “Risk-Free.”


I have carefully considered the risk involved and hereby give my informed consent for my child to participate in all activities offered in the program. I further authorize the sharing of the information with any BSA volunteers or professionals who need to know of medical conditions that may require special consideration in conducting Scouting activities.


With appreciation of the dangers and risks associated with programs and activities including preparations for and transportation to and from the activity, on my own behalf and/or on behalf of my child, I hereby fully and completely release and waive any and all claims for personal injury, death, or loss that may arise against the Boy Scouts of America, the local council, the activity coordinators, and all employees, volunteers, related parties, or other organizations associated with any program or activity.


In case of an emergency involving my child, I understand that efforts will be made to contact me. In the event I cannot be reached, permission is hereby given to the medical provider to secure proper treatment, including hospitalization, anesthesia, surgery, or injections of medication for my child. Medical providers are authorized to disclose protected health information to the adult in charge and/or any physician or health care provider involved in providing medical care to the participant.
