Can a physical form from school or from summer camp be used at Philmont in place of the Philmont Health and Medical Record?
NO, the specific Philmont Health and Medical Record form is required for all participants, and absolutely no substitute is accepted. Patriots Path Council recommends that no physical activities (day hikes or overnight campouts) be undertaken without the advisors full knowledge of the medical status of each member of the crew, both youth and adults. This is best accomplished by having the Philmont Health and Medical Record completed and certified by a doctor as soon as possible and prior to any physical activities. If that is not possible (insurance issues usually), then the participant portions of the Philmont form (pages 4 and 5) should be completed and a copy given to the Crew Advisor along with a copy of the most recent school or camp physical until such time as the Philmont Medical Form is completed. 3. What are Philmont’s rules regarding the date of a participants physical? Philmont requires that the physical be performed within 12 months of the participation date.
