Every Dog Show Should Have Girl Scouts, 4-H, Boy Scouts…
Bring the kids! Have fun and learn! Bring the news media to share their joy with your local population. The AKC Dog Show Patch program is not just for Girl Scouts. Your club can involve other youth groups as well. As a second generation Girl Scout, brother and father Eagle Boy Scouts, Girl Scout leader for a mother, youth leaders are always looking for new programs for the kids.
