Re: [Philmont]: safety policies at Philmont

last year when I attended PTC, I had to take prescription medicine. As
required by GSS, when I arrived, I asked where it was to be kept and how it
would be refrigerated. I was told to leave it in a marked bag in the
refrigerator at camp hq. The refrigerator would be available when ever I
needed access. Unfortunately, it was open to access to all, adults and
childern. I mentioned this to the Camp director after I left via email, to
national cub scout leaders while I was there and to camp staff while I was
there.

I wonder if there were any changes made?

This is a potentially lethal situation waiting to happen.
