Medical Risk Factors for Your Participation in Scouting

[…] while you are at Scouting events. Be certain that the event leader knows about all of your current medications. Based on the vast experience of the medical community, the BSA has identified risk factors that could become issues during weekend camping, hikes, treks, tours, or other activities. If you have any of the risk factors on this list, it means that you may have an increased chance of having problems while at a Scouting event. Therefore, someone else, preferably the event leader, should know about your risk status. Completing the Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR), having a discussion with your health-care provider regarding the types of activities you will be participating in, and sharing your current health information with adult leaders who will be joining you on these activities will help to keep you and everyone healthy and safe. Become familiar with the following risk factors to ensure all Scouts and Scouters are prepared. Excessive Body Weight (Obesity) Excessive body weight increases the risk for numerous health problems. To ensure the best experience, Scouts and Scouters should be of proportional height and weight. One such measure is the Body Mass Index (BMI), which can be calculated using a tool from the Centers for Disease Control (Reference 1). Calculators for both adults and youth are available. Adults with a BMI of 30 or greater should consult with their health-care provider prior to participation in Scouting events. It is recommended that youth fall within the fifth and 85th percentiles. Those in the 85th percentile or above are at risk and should work to achieve a higher level of fitness. Cardiac or Cardiovascular Disease These include Angina (chest pain caused by blocked blood vessels or supplying the heart) Myocardial infarction (heart attack) Heart surgery or heart catheterization (including angioplasty to treat blocked blood vessels, balloon dilation, or stents) Stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) Claudication (leg pain with exercise, caused by hardening of the arteries) Family history of heart disease or a family member who died unexpectedly before age 50 Heart failure Smoking Youth who have congenital heart disease or acquired heart disease such as rheumatic fever, Kawasaki’s disease, or mitral valve prolapse should undergo a thorough exam. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Scouts and Scouters should have a blood pressure lower than 130/85. Persons with significant hypertension (>140/90) should be under treatment, which often requires medication, and their condition should be under control. If participating in a Scouting event that is physically demanding, it […]
