Boy and Girl Scout Programs

Join us for a Boy or Girl Scout program! All programs include a humane education lesson, meeting an animal and activities to complete.

All Scout programs cost $12 per child, take place on-site at one of our campuses and are an hour and a half in length.

“Thank you so much for today’s session with our troop. The girls really enjoyed it and were engaged the entire time. I truly appreciate how well the program is even thorough Zoom.  You are really good at teaching and sharing your love of animals.  We look forward to more activities in the future.”  Troop 4293 

Scouts are also invited to work on their Bronze, Silver and Gold Award projects and Boy Scouts can complete their Eagle Scout projects with us.
