Hi Art, As far as scouts who need meds more than just am and pm they are reminded by the adults in charge of overseeing their program and they go ahead and...
NY has strict laws about whom can dispense what to whom, etc., making it more fun some counties have stricter laws so we need to be careful when we plan trips....
Thanks for getting back to me and yes, meds are always gonna be a problem for "volunteers"; as for your latter issue, if a youth needs his meds, but refuses,...
I guess what I really don't understand is the mentality of parents who just don't stop and think and do what is best for their children. And not just in...
Aahhh. The old "let's take the required break from ADHD meds while Johnny is at Summer Camp" trick. Had it happen a couple of times. Never fun, especially...
You share my husband's pain. Summer camp, the way it runs now, is very structured. There was a reason the scout was put on the meds. Completing merit badges,...
I think, if it ever falls within my scope, that I would insist that a boy who needs meds during the school year needs his meds on Scout outings. Thus, he...
To me, taking a "med break" for ADHD is as ridiculous as a person who is diabetic taking an "insulin break". As my son with ADD put it when his doctor told...
Lucinda,  Part of the problem with all of the ADD meds is that they suppress appetite. For some kids this can cause of a problem of low body weight and...
<<Overnight them...>> Yeah - that was my first thought. This would have been a situation where I would have had the medical staff at Philmont get the meds sent...
It's definitely worth the $$, and I assume they would be in camp a couple of days to get used to the elevation before being out on the trek. ... From: Jamie...
Depending on when you arrive at the ranch, it is a really quick turn around between arriving and stepping off. One day and two nights. But they are so...
Of course overnite was my first thought. Long story but this dad was a product of the 60s and his elevator didn't quite make it to the top floor, you know, a...
My son never had to worry about his appetite being suppressed. Perhaps that had something to do with him not starting on medication until he was 14, and...
Oh I am also looking for more handouts and presentations if anyone has any to share. Especially in the areas of: Teaching the Patrol Method to Parents How to...
Chiming in on this thread, again. The medication vacation as a treatment plan was something that was popular in the 80's, I believe. Unfortunately, while most...
I had (have 1 still on) 3 sons on ADD meds. When it was time to have the 2nd diagnosed and treated, our previous Pediatric Neurologist was no longer taking...

My oldest son was ADHD. The school tried to pigeon hole his brothers in to that diagnosis. It was obvious to me niether was like their older brother. Anyway...

It won't let me make a tour plan without someone certified in CPR. When was that added? I have no idea if anyone in our pack or troop has that training and...
I do not know. Check with your local council. ________________________________ From: "CubScoutDen@..." <CubScoutDen@...> To: scouter_t@yahoogroups.com ...
Have you worked through a tour plan or are you referring to the instructional video released recently? The video uses a backcountry trek as its example, which...
I was actually trying to make one. Could just be a glitch, not a requirement. Lisa Mom to 3 boys Pack Trainer Assistant Scoutmaster District Vice Chair,...
