We\u2019ve talked about what is on the packing list but the adults have a separate list of important things! You can divide the things in the Leader\u2019s Tool Kit into several chaperone backpacks. They go with you wherever you go and will help you feel prepared to deal with any emergency. I give the first aid kit and medications to the first aider. I usually keep my Travel Binder and all the other \u201cfix it\u201d things.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Each girl’s medications (in small sandwich bags with girl\u2019s name in sharpie on outside)
\n\u2022 Medication and accident log and a pen (I keep this in one big Ziploc bag with the and the instructions for dosage and signed permission to give medication so it\u2019s all in one place.)
