Medications at Camp

One of my Wood Badge ticket items, decades ago, was to try to make recommendations for adult leaders. I was astonished at how little information was available. Variations in state laws make it tricky to apply one-size-fits-all guidance without a lot of careful research.

Scouting.org has posted a Safety Moment dedicated to the safe use of medications. It includes a video that summarizes the topic, and a downloadable PDF outlining BSA recommendations titled Medication Use in Scouting, No. 680-036, available at https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/SAFE_USE_OF_MEDICATION_IN_SCOUTING.pdf.
