dietary request or special needs?

The Northeast Georgia Council will do everything in its power to accommodate participants with special needs.  We will do our best to accommodate most food allergies but cannot be held accountable for the management of these allergies. Severe allergies that require special food items must be provided for your child on the day of arrival at camp. Example: Gluten Free Diets cannot be provided by the food service department due to the severity and complexity of this diet.  We are able to store food for you in our refrigerator or dry storage area if requested.

If your scout has special dietary request, you will need to complete the form below and turn in with your registration.

If an attending adult has a special needs request, e.g., needs an electric outlet for medical equipment, then please complete the form below and turn in with your registration

• Camp Rainey Mountain Dietary Request or Special Needs

medical forms

Every participant will need Forms A, B1, B2 and C completed. You are responsible to keep medical forms current and a copy for your reference. 

• Notes about Form C 

  • It must be completed by certified and licensed physicians (MD, DO), nurse practitioners, or physician assistants. 

  • You can get evaluated and have the form completed at a clinic other than that of your primary physican, like an Urgent Care clinic. 

• T77 participants should drop their completed forms in the black box during a Tuesday night meeting. 

If a participant does not have med forms completed by the dates outlined above, the participant will not go.  Copies of Required Forms can be found at the link below.

Medication 

If your Scout will take any medication (over-the-counter and/or prescription) during Summer Camp, the parent must complete this dosage form and give just enough medication for the campout in the original packaging to the Summer Camp medical officers.

If your scout’s medical form indicates the use of an inhaler, EpiPen®, or similar medical device, the Camp Staff will confirm that the individual has the required item(s) in their possession. If the camper doesn’t have the item(s), the scout will be restricted from camp activities until the items indicated on the form are obtained. PLAN AHEAD!

Emergency medications such as Epi-pen and albuterol inhalers should be kept with the Scout in their day pack, in a specific pocket marked by the troop's standard reflective colored hang tags. Scouts should bring their intended day pack to Check-in and visibly show the troop medical officers the pocket with the rescue meds, and the tag indicating the location.

Parents must turn in all oral medication for their scout at Saturday Check-In, regardless of whether it is prescription or over-the-counter, including supplements, etc. NO prescription, over-the-counter medicine, vitamins, or herbal supplements are permitted in a scout’s luggage.

Medication should be prepared according to the exact guidelines below:

• All medication must be in a container issued by the pharmacist with the medication name, strength, dose, and dose frequency clearly marked. 

• If medication was not issued by a pharmacist (over-the-counter), medication must be in branded packaging with dosing instructions present.

• Store all your scout’s medications inside a Ziploc bag that securely closes (gallon-sized preferred)

• Complete this medication dosage form, listing all medications you are turning in. Use 2 forms if needed. Tuck completed form inside the Ziploc bag with medications. 

• Label outside of bag with your scout’s first and last name.
