Medicine distribution will be scheduled with the scout and camp medical staff at check-in.  It will be the scout's responsibility to arrive at the Health Lodge according to the scouts agreed upon medicine distribution schedule.
The below is from the Camp Medical guide:
What happens if my scout misses his medication?
All medications are prescribed for a reason. Those that are prescribed to be taken daily (or multiple times during a day) are necessary for the patient’s well-being.
Therefore, the following procedures are in place when a scout misses his medication:

• First Time – The camper’s Scoutmaster is informed
• Second Time – The camper’s parent is called
• Third Time – The camper is sent home.

Scouts who repeatedly miss their medications present a significant medical danger to themselves. These boys cannot remain in camp for their own safety.
