Program launched in May, 2016
Designed for Girl Scouts at Every Level
- Interested scout troops are provided a packet of various activities teaching about pet ownership.
- These activities are completed during regular troop meetings.
- We have unique packets for Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and Cadette/Senior levels.
- Next, the troop will come in for a tour of the AVHS Shelter and receive their badges.
- The cost of the program is only $10 per person. However, thanks to our sponsors, the program has been subsidized, and each scout only needs to pay $5. Additional scholarship opportunities are also available if needed.
- Tours of our shelter work best in small groups because our shelter is small. We aim to keep tours no larger than ten people. If you have a larger troop, we can schedule multiple tours.
- Please complete a Visitation Waiver (link below) prior to our visits to AVHS.
Tours are offered monthly.
- Patches will be issued after the AVHS tour.
- For more information about the program or to get your packet and schedule a tour, please contact our Special Programs Team at 253-409-1498 or [email protected].
