Required Forms
When the Required Forms are ready, you can download them from this page. When you see the forms below with ‘live links’, then they are ready for download. If the form says ‘PENDING’, then it is not available yet. You will be notified when it is available via email.
Once you complete your Required Forms, you can scan and upload them to our custom Participant Forms Management System (PForMS). There will be a button on this page for access to the PForMS system. Use the printable Checklist at the bottom of this page to keep track of your forms.
Note: We can ONLY accept scanned PDF forms that are legible and can be printed. No photos of forms or image files will be accepted. If you have questions, just ask us!
See the ComCruise ‘Timeline’ for important dates and deadlines.
NOTE: All forms are for the Participant – either the Sea Scout or Adult attending the Cruise. If a youth (Sea Scout 14-17 years old), the parent/guardian must sign. If an adult (18 years old or above), the adult participant must sign. If you have questions, please ask before submitting the forms.
NOTE: You can upload forms in any order and upload them a few at a time. The PForMS system will save your uploaded forms as you go. You can return at any time to finish uploading additional forms. You will receive ‘status notifications’ via email when each form is under review (status = pending) and when it is approved (status = approved).
