Pugh, a life scout with Scouts of America Troop 262, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2020 and has packaged tools such as an insulin cooler, medical ID bracelet, a disposal container for storing used needles and educational materials to help other students adjust to a diabetes diagnosis. The kits are distributed through DHHS’ school health nurses.
