Many insurance programs provide for an annual wellness visit. Most Scout families get in the habit of taking the ABC medical form with them. Other opportunities include bringing it along to physicals for sports or visiting clinics for students at local high schools. You don’t have to go to one of those schools to use their clinic.
Medicines
There will be a designated person on every trip who is responsible for collecting and providing medicines. At summer camps, the camp staff will often collect the medicines from the troops.
