Speedy's DAD 10 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have a number of younger Scouts that are under 60 inches tall. Is the Doctor's assesment, that the Scout's weight is proportionally appropriate, acceptable or is a body fat percentage measurement required since he isn't on the chart? This is for Summer Camp but we want the forms to be acceptable for any activity. (We don't currently do any high adventure.) Link to post Share on other sites
The Blancmange 67 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 See the FAQ's on the national website: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/HealthandSafety/Resources/MedicalFormFAQs.aspx Subtract 6 pounds for each inch under 60". Link to post Share on other sites
Speedy's DAD 10 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking for. It also answered a number of other questions my Troops parents had. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'll bet that there is something in the G2SS about using a rack? Ea. Link to post Share on other sites
acco40 95 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I jsut turned 55 and went to the doctor last week and he gave me a clean bill of health including a comment was that my weight was optimal! The only thing he recommended for better health was to grow a few inches. Link to post Share on other sites
