Medication at Camp

Girl Scouts of Western Washington is not mandated by law to require that its volunteers administer medications to girl members. Taking over-the-counter or prescribed medication is the responsibility of the girl needing the medication and her parents. Girl Scouts of Western Washington strives to be inclusive and to make its programming available to the broadest range of girls possible, and so will allow volunteers to accept the responsibility of administering medications. Please read the information provided at the links below regarding our policy and permissions needed.

At Valley Day Camp we encourage parents to give medication before or after camp if at all possible.  If your camper needs medication during camp you must have the forms below completed and turned in to Clover (our camp nurse) before medication can be given.  All medication must be in its original container, must have current dates, and must have your camper's name on.  We do not provide any over the counter medications (although the Girl Scout forms may indicate otherwise).  All prescription medications require a separate form that must be signed by your medical provider.  Links to all of the forms are below.

Medication and appropriate forms should be brought to camp and given directly to Clover.  If you have meds and forms to drop off let a volunteer know during drop off and they will send Clover to you.
