Looking for a SAR Dog demo for Scouts

[Darwin]

Hello,

I am the newly appointed hiking coordinator for my son's scout pack. We are looking to have someone do a SAR dog demo for our PACK. We are located in Amesbury, MA, but may be willing to travel. We do have some open space available as well.

Thanks in advance! Darwin

Wow, that's a very cool idea. Unfortunately, I don't have any information to offer but wanted to commend you on what will be a really neat experience for the kids.

Try your local Sheriff K9 and State Police K9 units. If they can't do it they will know how to contact volunteer SAR organizations which have many practice SAR events.

Mary and Butch MacQueen run Nitro Golden Retrievers and perform demonstrations for National Ski Patrol during NSP Avalananche II classes. You may even want to buy one of their puppies. http://www.madbbs.com/users/nitrogoldens/

I'm glad to see that you are involved in Scouting. As an Eagle Scout and adult volunteer, I applaud your efforts!
