I (parent or guardian) understand that participation in Pursuit, sponsored by Yates-Thagard Baptist Church, activities involve a certain degree of risk inherent in all outdoor scout training, and that these can result in injury or death. By signing this form, I authorize my child to participate in these activities and I agree to assume and accept all risks and hazards inherent in this activity. I also agree not to hold Yates-Thagard Baptist Church, its employees, or volunteer assistants liable for damages, losses, or injuries. I understand that I am signing for the minor listed on this form and the signature is for both medical and liability release. In case of emergency, I understand that every effort will be made to contact me. In the event I cannot be reached, I hereby give my permission to the physician selected by the adult leader(s) in charge to secure proper treatment, including for minor injuries, hospitalization, anesthesia, surgery, or injections of medication to my child. In the event of injury or illness, I understand that church insurance is only secondary insurance, that my medical insurance carrier is primary insurance, and that the church will not be held financially responsible.
