Deciphering BSA medical forms

(UPDATE: BSA updated its AHMR in December 2019. While some details are different, the big picture remains the same.)

BSA’s medical forms are complicated! I made a guide to help leaders know how to check form completeness: AHMR review.

I recommend you review BSA’s Frequently Asked Questions Concerning the Annual Health and Medical Record. I think my guidance is good for the vast majority of simple cases. There are still boundary cases that will need different consideration, and the FAQ covers many of them.
