SPOT SCOUTSGirl and Boy Scouts are clubs where young people practice skills that will help them as adults. The Spot Scouts is a club where dogs and owners can continue being involved with training without needing to participate in dog sports or competitions. Any dog-owner team can join the Spot Scouts and earn badges that show off your growing skills. Events are held several times a month and cost around $15. You can attend those you want and skip those you don't. The sessions offer socialization and training in which you practice the skills needed for various badges, but you need not attend any classes to earn badges. Here are some examples of topics and field trips:
Events are usually $20 individually. For a $25 annual membership fee you get 5 free sessions per year and the ability to earn badges.
