If your son will need to have medicine during the campout or summer camp, you will need to package his medicine(s) as described below.

Please note that this is needed for regularly scheduled medications as well as medicines taken only as needed.

In addition, if your son takes any type of medication for ADD and/or ADHD, please do not consider sending them without medications to "give them a break." We have found many scouts who go without their regularly scheduled medications have difficulty focusing and avoiding impulsive behaviors. Each scout's safety and enjoyment is our primary concern.

As always, consult your child's physician when considering any changes in administering medications.

Please use an index card and mark as follows:

• Scout's first and last name at the top
• Make a column for each different time medications should be administered
  • AM and PM would be two columns (as pictured on the right)
  • AM, noon, PM would be three columns
  • note if the medication needs to be taken before, with or following meals
• List the names of the medications under each time they are to be taken
  • If the same medication is to be taken at different times, list the medication each time
• Be sure to list the milligrams and/or number of tablets
• Some medications are only on an "as needed" basis (see picture on right)
