dogs can be scouts too!

"to improve the lives of dogs, their owners, and society through humane education, positive training, and community involvement" this is the mission of the dog scouts of america! 



when we saw this we just had to share! started in 1995 to enrich the lives of dogs and their owners, the dog scouts of america is a nonprofit started by lonnie olson.

much like the boy and girl scouts, the dog scouts of america holds weekend outings, retreats for instructors and even summer camps for pups. 


in recognition of their efforts dogs receive merit badges.. there are over 60 of them including: therapy work, agility and backpacking! the dog scouts also help their communties through clean ups, dogs volunteer at nursing homes and local schools. 

ruby has done her fair share of camping with scc!

you can join a group or start one in your area!


here are some fun camping goods to get your dog outside and scout ready!
