RI based social group for the pup/pet/critter play community! Trans led, LGBTQIA+ centric, but all genders and sexualities welcome https://tinyurl.com/JulyBaseCamp Base Camp education, social, and mosh every third Friday!

You asked, and we answered! Come to our Petplay 101, a refreshed and revamped discussion on some petplay essentials such as getting into headspace, gear types, common terminology in the scene, intro to dynamics, consent guidelines in pet spaces, and more! This presentation will be taught on by RI Pup and Pet Scouts board, Crackerjack, Darling, and Tibbs (as pictured on flyer from left to right). RSVP IS REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT! RSVP IN BIO OR WITH QR CODE Date: Friday, November 21st Time: 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM Location: A Private Venue in Providence, RI that is in close proximity to Mirabar and Alchemy (The exact address will be shared directly with confirmed attendees no later than 24 hours prior to the event). It is the venue we have utilized in the past, and is on a second floor without an elevator. It is transit accessible and also has plentiful free parking! Date: Friday, November 21st Time: 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM
What does the space look like? Anything else to note? Our space is made up of two separate rooms. The primary room of the space is occupied by our main mosh area, general social area, and raffle/promotional items for our group. This room can get loud and rambunctious as everyone has fun and there is medium loud music playing. Our secondary space down the hall is reserved as a quiet room, with a gentler mosh space and quiet conversations. There is no music in this room generally. Both rooms are accompanied by trained Mosh guards/staff. Absolutely no private play or sexual activity is allowed in these spaces.
Is there a place to keep clothes/my items? Yes! We have lockers available on a first come first serve basis. You are welcome to bring a lock for these as well (they are traditional school style lockers). We assume no responsibility for any lost or damaged items left in these lockers or in the general space, but are happy to report items as lost to Eagle staff in case they find them at a later time.
What can I wear? We allow most outfits into our space, with a few rules that have to be followed: -Butts and Genitals MUST be covered -No hate speech or symbols allowed -Chests and nipples of all types are allowed to be uncovered, however please cover up appropriately when outside per providence laws -We do not allow any gear that could be interpreted as police, heavy military, or emergency response personnel -Anything loose, sharp, or otherwise deemed unsafe not allowed on the mosh mats
Is the area accessible? Unfortunately, The third floor of the Eagle’s Nest does not have elevator access. We are working hard to address accessibility needs regarding this, but currently the space is up two flights of stairs with limited lighting plus a few steps from street level. The Eagle bar is wheelchair accessible, but has limited space and lighting to be aware of. If you have concerns regarding these details, please let us know and we will try to help!
Where is the event? I see two addresses listed! We have two locations with different things happening! Our primary location is at 257 Weybosset st in a private 3rd floor of the eagle’s nest (Providence health club), where the mosh and main social is happening; you will see signs with directions upon entering the door (starred)! Our second locations is at 124 Snow St (the main Eagle bar), where we encourage folks to socialize during or after the event. Please note that during this base camp, the bar space is unmonitored by Scoutmasters and you do have to walk outside between the two spaces!

Green, yellow, and pink graphic with writing in a bulleted list: “What are the rules? -Respect and listen to the swap room monitor. -Wash your hands before entering the swap room and touching gear. -If you would like to get a self-determined ‘equal trade’, please keep these items on your person. We can not guarantee these trades and you must be responsible for them. -Follow item allowance guidelines on following section!”
Green, yellow, and pink graphic with writing: “What is a gear swap? A gear swap is an event where attendees can swap gear that no longer suits them and obtain new gear that does! There is generally no cost for the gear at the event, and for our swap it is set up as a room seperate from the movie where you can browse the gear at your leisure. It is assumed if you leave gear in the swap room, it is not guaranteed to come back to you and it can be taken by anyone who would like it.”
Please refrain from bringing any snacks that are corn-centric (popcorn, tortilla chips, doritos/cheetos, etc.) or have kiwi as we have members with severe airborne allergies. We also will not allow alcoholic beverages to be brought to the event. This is non-negotiable and if you violate this rule, you will be asked to discard/put the snack somewhere outside the building and/or asked to leave if you will not abide. We will have snacks that are both salty and savory available to munch on and water available! Please stay tuned for a post about guidelines for what gear is acceptable to swap, what that process will look like, and more! If you have any questions prior, please do not hesitate to reach out to us and we will answer to the best of our ability.
Join RI Pup and Pet Scouts for a hybrid movie night and gear swap! Bring your favorite movie snack(s), your retired gear, and your social self to hang out amongst other pets, handlers, and friends while watching Underdog! We are asking for a suggested donation of $10 that will directly support The Space, but there will be no one turned away for lack of funds. The Space is located next door to Alchemy and is on the second floor up one flight of stairs. There is unfortunately no elevator, but the stairs do have a sturdy railing and small steps up. There is a small parking lot behind the building, street parking, and a paid lot right next to the building for those driving, and there is a bus stop a few minute’s walk from the venue. Please bring your own chairs/blankets/whatever you need to be comfortable for the movie, as we will only have our mosh mats available for seating! If you need assistance with accessibility needs, please reach out and we will help as best as we are able.
