<Patriots' Path Council stresses (obsesses?) that EVERY space on the form be
filled, not left blank.  When you are reviewing your crew's forms to
understand if you have any medical issues, also be thinking like a bureaucrat - make
sure a copy of the insurance card (front and back) is attached, the social
security number and religious preference is filled in, that it is signed by the
parent and the youth, that YOU can read the doctor's name, etc.  It clearly makes
the medical staff's job
easier and recheck process flow smoother.>

Question: as the SS# is now protected and not necessary to share on a medical
form (my understanding only) how important is this to Philmont? Some of our
parents are very reluctant to provide that information and have stated it is
unnecessary for needed medical treatment.
