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 us 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 both a health form and medication form, but we only need the medication portion to be completed. Please note, prescription medications require a doctor's signature.Medication and appropriate forms should be brought to camp and given directly to Tic Tac, our camp nurse. If you have meds and forms to drop off let a volunteer know during camper drop off and they will send Tic Tac to you.
All medications are stored in first aid station and distributed by the Camp Nurse (Tic Tac) or other camp staff as needed.
