Classes:

The merit badge will be taught in a series of rotating sessions on different topics. You will be signed off for the requirements that you complete.

Merit badge requirements include catching a fish. We cannot guarantee you will catch a fish on this day, but we will give you the opportunity!

*Please wear your Class A Uniform for the day.

Scouts will be responsible for bringing their own blue card(s) signed by their Scoutmaster to the event.

Complete Angler Award Service Project:  This option is ONLY for Scouts who have earned all three fishing-related merit badges – fishing, fly fishing and fish and wildlife management and would like to earn the Complete Angler Award.  In addition to earning all three fishing-related merit badges the Scout has to complete one of the following four service projects.  Scouts registering for the Complete Angler Award Service Project will be able to complete the service project at the skill center.
