Dog Scouts of America Troop 157

For more information about an event, and a map to the location, click on "calendar" above then click on the date of the event.

Note: You MUST attend a New Member Meeting before you may join regular meetings or attend any Troop events. This allows us to ensure that you understand what it means to be a Dog Scout parent, and that being a troop member will remain a positive experience.

With the weather the way it is: Please check back 24 hours prior to the class or event to see if it is still on.

Note: the last date of the class is the checkoff class unless otherwise noted or relayed by instructor (i.e. DSA classes are scheduled for 5 weeks but may be completed in 4)

You should bring the following items:

• 4-6 foot leash
• water for your dog (and yourself)
• clicker
• treats & treat bag
• poop bags (how many do you need to have on you at all times?)
