• Parents or guardians of girls who take prescribed medications (for example, allergy pills) should inform leaders in advance.

• Over-the-counter or prescribed medications should be in the original container and administered in the prescribed dosage by or in the presence of the responsible adult as per the written instructions of a custodial parent, a guardian, or a physician.

• Medications, including over-the-counter products, should never be given without prior written permission from a girl’s custodial parent or guardian.

•  Some girls may need to carry and administer their own medications, such as bronchial inhalers. Leaders should be notified of such a circumstance as well.
