We now offer specific programs that meet all or most of the requirements for many of the common animal-related badges for both girl scouts and boy scouts. These programs are offered on Tuesday evenings from 4:30pm – 6pm and require prior registration. Please let us know if you cannot make this time and we are happy to work with you to find a time and date that can meet your needs.
We can help your troop with the following badges:
- Brownie level – Pets Badge – learn about the needs of different pets, how to be a responsible pet owner, and how to choose the pet that is right for you.
- Cadette level – Animal Helpers Badge – learn about the relationships between humans and animals, as well as roles of animals as helpers in human lives, such as working animals.
- Senior level – Voice for Animals Badge – learn about common issues in animal advocacy and animal rights.
- Dog Care Merit Badge – learn about a variety of dog breeds, how to be a responsible pet owner, how to decide what breed of dog might be best for your family, and what is required to do some basic obedience training with a dog.
Currently, we can accommodate groups of up to 12 scouts and one troop leader. Once you have submitted the registration form, a member of our staff will reach soon to schedule your visit and for payment.
Refund/cancellation policy: It is not the NHSPCA’s policy to give refunds for cancellations. For events postponed due to illness or inclement weather, we will make all attempts to reschedule or provide a credit to use toward future programming.
Waiver: I recognize that in conjunction with my child’s attendance at the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NHSPCA), my child will be in contact with and may be allowed to hold and pet animals. I understand that despite all precautions made, there is a chance that my child may contract a disease or illness by handling the animals. I further understand that there is a chance that my child may sustain a scratch or bite while handling animals. I understand that the above is illustrative of the types of risks involved in participating in programs at the NHSPCA, but is in no way a complete list of possible risks. By checking the YES box when registering, I do hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and discharge the NHSPCA, including its employees, successors, assigns, directors, officers and agents from and against any and all claims, obligations and liabilities of any nature relating to or arising out of my child’s participation with this NHSPCA program. I certify that I am the registered child’s legal parent or legal guardian.
Photo Release: I authorize the NHSPCA to use photos of my child engaging in program activities for media purposes.
COST: $10/per scout
