Everything a pack family needs.
Forms to turn in, accounts to set up, and lists to pack by. Bookmark this page — it’s your quartermaster’s corner.
Our family forms
Two short forms help us build the pack around your family. Print, fill out, and hand either one to any pack leader at a meeting.
- Parent Planning Survey Pack 226 is brand new — your answers directly shape the meeting times, events, and adventures we plan this year. Two minutes, big impact. Download the Parent Planning Survey (PDF)
- Family Faith & Altar Server Interest Form Tell us a little about your son’s faith journey — faith formation, sacraments, and interest in altar serving. Shared only with pack leadership. Download the Family Faith Form (PDF)
Health & Medical Record
Scouting America requires every Scout and every participating adult to have a current Annual Health & Medical Record (Parts A & B) on file with the pack. It’s a parent-completed form — no doctor’s visit needed for typical Cub Scout activities — and it’s good for 12 months. We collect them each August.
- Annual Health & Medical Record (Parts A & B) Download the current form, instructions, and FAQs directly from Scouting America: scouting.org/health-and-safety/ahmr
- Turn it in Print, complete, and hand Parts A & B to your den leader or any pack leader at a meeting. Attach a copy of your insurance card (front and back).
