  The goal of this report is to summarize the current situation and discuss
possible search strategies for charged scalars, in non-supersymmetric
extensions of the Standard Model at the LHC. Such scalars appear in
Multi-Higgs-Doublet models (MHDM), in particular in the popular
Two-Higgs-Doublet model (2HDM), allowing for charged and additional neutral
Higgs bosons. These models have the attractive property that electroweak
precision observables are automatically in agreement with the Standard Model at
the tree level. For the most popular version of this framework, Model~II, a
discovery of a charged Higgs boson remains challenging, since the parameter
space is becoming very constrained, and the QCD background is very high. We
also briefly comment on models with dark matter which constrain the
corresponding charged scalars that occur in these models. The stakes of a
possible discovery of an extended scalar sector are very high, and these
searches should be pursued in all conceivable channels, at the LHC and at
future colliders.
