An e-mail from the GSUSA Membership, Program and Diversity Consultant to me verbatim:
"I have shared your information with the task group that is gathering all information that GSUSA receives for possible implementation in the next Safety Wise. The group of consultants is very aware of this situation and I'm sure they will strategize on what's the best delivery of information to our membership -Girls, Volunteers, and staff."
We are all on a wait & see basis till the next Safety-Wise (Leader's handbook on safety) is distributed. To continue this effort, a person(s) from each state may want to contact the Council in their state. Allow them to know that GSUSA is working on the new Safety Wise to implement safety measures for those w/food allergies (the health impaired). I am still working on this effort, however, it is up to all those who want it to support it. Let your voice be heard to motivate your Council. Good luck!

Lisa, this is great news. I have talked with Hada Reed, and it is wonderful to know that GS is listening now. Thank you for posting her name.
