Helpful information:
There are 9 requirements for this badge, 6 of which can be signed off in the workshop that day. Due to the nature of requirements # 4, 5 and 8 you must complete these on your own. If you do # 4 and #5 prior to the workshop and bring your documentation with you to the workshop, I can sign off on everything that day and you are done!
Although you are not required to have a dog to attend this workshop, you must have one to complete requirement numbers 4 and 5. We have had many Boy Scouts attend who are considering adopting a dog and want to find out more about the responsibilities and care required before they get a dog. You can always attend the workshop and then complete the last two requirements in the future when you do add a canine family member to your pack.
When you are ready to expand your pack, please consider giving a dog the second chance he/she so deserves by adopting from a local shelter, animal control facility or breed rescue group where there are thousands of homeless animals just waiting to find their loving forever homes.
Are you interested in helping homeless animals in another way? Consider organizing a donation drive prior to attending this workshop and collect new or gently used towels, stuffed animals (cage buddies), blankets, linens of any kind, pet toys, peanut butter and treats.
