Q & A

Do Scouts need to bring their Merit Badge Sashes to the Jamboree?  No

Do Scouts need to bring their OA Sash to the Jamboree?  I have not seen anything where you would need to bring your OA Sash, but if you wanted to bring it you can.

 

Where do we upload the health forms

You should have received an email from jambomed@scouting.org titled “2017 Jamboree AHMR is NOW AVAILABLE!”.  The email had this information:

The electronic AHMR process required for the Jamboree is now available!
The Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR) is mandatory to attend the 2017 National Scout Jamboree. Submission of the AHMR is an electronic, multi-step process.  The health information you submit will be saved on a secure site and will be accessible to healthcare providers during the Jamboree.  By submitting the AHMR online, you grant the BSA the right to collect, store, and use the images of your form as a full and legal substitute for the original paper documents.   It is important that your medical information is accurate and complete.  We are committed to providing a fun and safe Jamboree experience for all attendees
Access the AHMR by clicking on this link: 2017 National Scout Jamboree AHMR. You will enter the username listed below along with the password that you previously established to access your record.
Username: <unique for each scout>
The system is being made available to you now to allow you more time to review the process, print the hard copy form and make an appointment with your healthcare provider (HCP).
Helpful information about the process is attached for your reference.
Important note…the AHMR must be within 1 year of the Jamboree so your HCP cannot complete your form before July 29, 2016.
**To ensure you receive all communications from the Jamboree team, be sure and add 2017jamboree@scouting.org AND jambomed@scouting.org to your safe senders list.**
We look forward to seeing you at the Jamboree!
