Dog Scouts Troop Meeting Info

As you know I talk a lot about this organization in my classes, I wanted to pass along meeting information for those of you who would like to check it out.  The troop leaders are Mart & Cindy, let me know if you would like any additional information.  Sorry this is such short notice, in the future I will post this info earlier.

For the troop meeting Saturday, we will be having the Dog Scout class and work on the Dog Scout test for those humans who have not yet been in on a Dog Scout class and for the dogs who have not yet passed their Dog Scout certification.   For those that are already Dog Scouts, we will be working on the Manners badge, and work some on the Sign Language badge, too, as time permits as these were the top two badges voted for.

 So…. details in a nutshell….
