Hi Kevin and list

Our troop & crew has a specific OTC med form that we have the parents sign.
We also have the scouts sign off on the form as well. We usually add this
to our permission forms if we go into an area were there is no or limited
cell phone coverage. When we have gone to Philmont, I take the forms and
consolidate details to one sheet (Originals are in a binder in our locker) -
ie name, contact infor height weight, alergies and which med's the parents
indicated "no". Because we have traveled as sister crews, a copy goes in
each 1st aid kit...

The following medications are carried in the Crew First Aid Kits. Please
signify your approval to administer these medications to your son based on
need and our judgment. Any medication marked "NO" will not be administered.
Note that we may use generic/store-brand products.
Medication YES NO

Advil, Tablets (Or generic/store-brand equivalent) _____ _____

Tylenol (Acetaminophen – Generic/store-bran equivalent) _____ _____

Aspirin _____ _____

Benadryl, Tablets (Or generic/store-brand equivalent) _____ _____

Cortaid (Hydrocortisone), Topical Cream _____ _____
(Or generic/store-brand equivalent)

Antifungal powder or Cream (tolnaftate 1%) _____ _____

Neosporin, Topical Cream (Or generic/store-brand equivalent) _____ _____

As a member/guest of Venture Crew 12 and an adventurer (trekker) of Venture
Crew 12s Philmont trip, I am aware of the challenges that I face and the
stresses that will be placed on me both physically and mentally. I further
understand that I must alert an adult advisor of any issues that arise that
may impede my progress (or that of a trek-member) on the trek. (Small
problems can quickly become big problems; blisters, stomach illnesses or
even conflicts between trek members – quick resolution of issues will only
make the trek more enjoyable for all attendees.) I acknowledge that I will
not “self-medicate” and I will alert an adult advisor prior to taking an
over the counter or prescribed medication.

Venture Crew 12 has taken standard 10-day first-aid kits and expanded them
significantly to include additional supplies and many of the above
Over-The-Counter remedies. Trekkers who think they may consume more than
an occasional dosage of any of the above remedies, should plan on bringing
their own supply and discuss the usage with the adult trek advisor.

Hello List!!

618-E is now inside the 2 week window! We're having our final shakedown
campout and hike this coming weekend with a final parents' meeting to follow
in order to get all the paperwork in order and make sure all the i's are
dotted and the t's are crossed. I was curious what if anything anyone else
does in the way of permission to administer over the counter meds to crew
members. Does anyone have a permission slip specifically for allowing scouts
on the trail to use tylenol, ibuprofen, rolaids/tums, etc? We carry these
items in our first aid kit but it seems that we should have this permission
before allowing scouts to use these OTC items. If anyone has a generic form
or one specific for Philmont/high-adventure trips, please email it to me,
I'd like to have something similar that we can have signed when we have the
parents sign the talent release form.

Thanks in advance!
