Badges earned by Dog Scouts (updated 3-30-10)- Excel database of the badges people and their dogs have already earned. Sorry, it can only be an Excel database due to the width of this database- it's created in Office 2007, but saved as an Office 2003 version. If you can't recall if your dog earned a badge, check here.
