Hi OC Pup Scouts Community! It’s officially our first blog post on here and we are so excited to get this blog started!
My name is Lindsey and I’m the Director of Marketing here at OC Pup Scouts. I’ll be the gal behind our blog – bringing you everything from Pup Scouts news, local dog friendly places, at-home DIY’s and training tips from our Pup Scouts Pack Leaders.
Our hope is that this blog provides you with a variety of ideas and ways to enrich and strengthen the bond that you have with your pup. Today we’re taking a deep dive into our newest addition to OC Pup Scouts – our Badge Program and an inside scoop on how you can earn your first badges and reward!
So what is our Badge Program you ask?
It’s basically a way for you and your pup to earn rewards for being a loyal Pup Scout. Just like the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, your pup can earn badges to add to their Pup Scouts bandanas when they complete a certain task with us. Once you collect a certain amount of badges, you can earn prizes and rewards like discounts off of your invoice, free products from our online shop and more.
Best of all, your pup can sport their bandana on our pack walks. And if your dog is anything like mine, they feel super special wearing bandanas or anything that makes them stand out in the pack. So not only will you get some cool rewards, but your dog will get a major confidence boost!
Let’s talk badges…
So if you haven’t already – you can purchase your Pup Scouts bandana in our online shop. Once you’ve got your bandana, my best advice would be to look at our individual badges and set your sights on earning your first three (which will then get you your first reward).
I’ll put the link to our Badge Program page on our website, but here’s the jist of the 10 badges we have and what you need to do to get them:
DOG OF THE WEEK
PARTY ANIMAL
KEEP IT 100
CONTEST
PUP SCOUTS PRAISE
INFLUENCER STATUS
GOOD BOY / GOOD GIRL
WOOF OF THE MONTH
SLEEPOVER
WEEKENDER
Let’s get started together! I’ll help you get your first reward…
To get your first reward, you have to earn 3 badges. If you’re brand new to OC Pup Scouts or have only completed a few walks with us, I would suggest focusing on these 3 badges to get started.
PUP SCOUTS PRAISE
Tell others about your experience and leave us a 5-star review on our Google and Yelp pages. Earning this badge takes under 10 minutes to complete!
INFLUENCER STATUS
Friends trust friends, so if you’re loving your experience, let your other pup parent friends know! Post about us on your social media and tag us at @ocpupscouts. Badge earned!
WOOF OF THE MONTH
Do you know 3 pup parents in the OC area that you can refer to OC Pup Scouts? The easiest way to earn this badge is to share our info with 3 of your friends and have them sign up for a walk. Once 3 of your friends have signed up, this badge is yours!
You’ve collected your first 3 badges! Pretty easy right?! It’s time for your first reward… $20 off your next Pup Scouts invoice and 25% off an item in our store!
Rewards are given after you collect 3, 6 and 10 badges. Collect them all to become the ultimate Pup Scout!
You’re on your way to earning badges and filling up your pup’s bandana! Start collecting badges and BOOK A WALK.
After, visit our Badge Program page HERE to see what prizes you could win after earning your badges!
Thanks for reading and I’ll see you later this week for some festive dog friendly DIY’s!
