Bring your Scout Troop to Charleston Animal Society!

Our “Paw Patch” program provides scout troops with the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of life-saving work while also learning about what they can do to help animals in their community. Go on an interactive behind-the-scenes tour of the shelter, meet new furry friends, and participate in a fun activity or lesson tailored to the needs of your troop!

  • Overpopulation
