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 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 Pagemaster 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 form that must be signed by your medical provider. Links to all of the forms are below. Please note, the form is four pages long, but we do not need all the pages. If you have over the counter meds then you need page two. If you have prescription meds you need page three.
Medication and appropriate forms should be brought to camp and given directly to Pagemaster. If you have meds and forms to drop off let a volunteer know during camper drop off and they will send Pagemaster to you.
All medications are stored in first aid station and
distributed by the Health Supervisor or other camp staff. If your camper requires a rescue inhaler,
epi-pen or other rescue medication, they will be carried at all time by your
camper’s unit leader.
