Help Your Council or Unit Deliver a Quality Fishing Program

This course is designed to give Scouters tools and ideas to get Scouts fishing. We will ignite your desire for introducing Scouts to the wonderful world of fishing.  Boy’s Life recent survey found that Scouts chose fishing as the fourth most preferred outdoor activity, yet only 35% go fishing within Scouting.  You can become a Fishing Advocate for your unit, district, and council and utilize fishing as a good tool for Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation.  Share your passion for fishing.

Course Highlights

  1. Become recognized as a BSA Certified Angling Instructor an Official  Train the Trainer Certification CS-61. Receive a CAI patch and Certificate.
  2. Learn basic fly-fishing skills - fly casting, fly tying, knots and how to teach them.  Receive electronic copies of the PowerPoint slides.
  3. As a CAI you will have an opportunity to get fishing and fly-fishing equipment at greatly reduced rates for teaching Scouts.   

Fishing is a Favorite Outdoor Activity for Scouts

Fishing with Scouts is an outdoor activity providing Scouts with fun, skills development, family participation and strongly supports sound conservation awareness.  Fishing receives very little support by most councils yet has a great opportunity with minimal investment. Most camps offer marginal fishing programs and poor instruction.  As a CAI you can make fishing a priority within your scouting world.

Who should attend?

The  CAI course is for Scouters (volunteer & professional) who wish to learn how fishing enhances Council, District and Unit programs, supports current and potential Merit Badge Councilors.  Perfect also for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing leaders, council properties and is a Fishing Camp School. If you wish to be at Camp Falling Rock and want to learn how we teach fishing to Scouts, this is for you.
