PETS at Home Redditch is offering local Beaver and Cub Scout groups free workshops to help members gain their animal carer badge and animal friend badge.
In order to achieve the badge criteria, young people attending the workshops at the Pets at Home store in Redditch will receive free workbooks to help record the advice they will receive from trained in-store colleagues on how to care for pets responsibly.
They will learn how to care for small animals, fish, reptiles or insects and understand the correct types, varieties and quantities of food to feed them.
They will also find out about the right habitats, where they sleep and how to ensure they get the appropriate level of exercise.
Peter Burrell, store manager at Pets at Home Redditch said: “Our in-store pet advisers are always happy to share their extensive knowledge of animal care."
