Scout Workshops

Scouts can join us to earn an animal-related badge while helping animals in need! Workshops are available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This workshop includes a tour of the Main Shelter, a chance to meet our education animals and fun activities to complete badge requirements. Are you looking to earn an animal-related badge? DCHS offers workshops for:

  • DCHS Shelter Badge - for any Scout!
  • Brownie - Pets badge
  • Cadette - Animal Helpers badge
  • Junior - Animal Habitats badge
  • Senior - Assistance with Voice for Animals badge

Each workshop includes a tour of DCHS, a project, interactions with our education animals, activities to complete the badge requirements and the appropriate badge. Workshops take approximately two hours to complete. Our participation fee for badge workshops is based on a sliding scale. Adults can attend for free but siblings are included in the total number of participants.

  • 1-10 Participants: $125
  • 11-15 Participants: $175
  • 16-20 Participants: $225

Workshops can be held any day of the week. All sessions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend scheduling at least two months in advance. If you would like to book during a weekday, please email education@giveshelter.org for availability. 

If you have scouts in different levels, we recommend the DCHS Shelter Badge workshop, or contact our Humane Educator for more information.

DCHS Humane Education Programs Information

Education Opportunity Statement

At Dane County Humane Society, we know our education programs thrive from having diverse and inclusive participation. Diversity and inclusion are celebrated and embraced at Dane County Humane Society. We will not discriminate against or give preference to any person because of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, handicap or disability, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, arrest record, genetic information, veteran status or other class protected by applicable law. DCHS puts people first and we are happy to work with learners to remove barriers and put any reasonable accommodations into practice to the extent that it is safe to do so.

Cancellation Policy

Refunds may be granted up to 24 hours after payment has been submitted, less a $25.00 administration fee, if requested in writing to the Humane Educator at education@giveshelter.org. After 24 hours from payment submission, fees are non-refundable but the event reservation may be transferred to another date in some situations. Dane County Humane Society reserves the right to cancel events due to various circumstances.

Allergy Information

DCHS utilizes peanut butter for animal enrichment throughout the shelter, and therefore is unable to provide a peanut-free facility. We are unable to make accommodations for children with severe peanut allergies.

Please email education@giveshelter.org if you have questions or need assistance.
