Scout programs

Different scout groups at AHS.

Scout programs are scheduled September through May.

Booking requests for the 2023-2024 school year will open August 1.

Daisy Scout Program

This fun, interactive, animal-themed program helps Daisy Scouts earn their Birdbath Award, as part of the "5 Flowers, 4 Stories, 3 Cheers for Animals" guidebook. Our humane educators use storytelling and games to teach Daisy Scouts about basic pet needs and safety to help them be responsible future pet owners. They learn how people and animals help each other, and how they can help their own pets. 

Upon completion of the program, each scout will receive a special “fun” patch to signify they have earned their Birdbath Award.

This program includes a special visit with an AHS animal!

Cost: $12/scout ($120 minimum)

Brownie Pets Badge Program

Our comprehensive Brownie Pets Badge Program walks scouts through the importance of meeting pets’ needs (health, safety, feeding, exercise, etc.). Our humane educators use a variety of games and activities to engage scouts in learning how to better care for the pets in their lives and animals in shelter. Upon completion of the program, each Brownie will receive a special Animal Humane Society Education patch for their vest or sash.

This program includes a special visit with an AHS animal! 

Cost: $16/scout ($160 minimum)

Junior Girl Scout Badge Program

Our “Law of the Paw” Badge Program uses games and activities to teach Junior Scouts about the importance of pet adoption, spaying and neutering, and collars and ID tags. Please note, “Law of the Paw” is a unique program developed by Animal Humane Society and does not follow any curriculum in the Girl Scout Handbook. Upon completion of this program, each scout will receive a special Animal Humane Society badge for their vest or sash.

This program includes a special visit with an AHS animal! 

Cost: $16/scout ($160 minimum)

Cub Scouts and Lions

For younger scouts (grades K-1), our classroom program, "The Good Kind Giant," teaches kids about caring for pets through an interactive story about a giant family and their pet boy. 

This program includes a special visit with an AHS animal! 

Upon completion of this program, each scout will receive a special Animal Humane Society badge.
