Everything you need to know to take your Scouts Fishing!

The program is designed to give a student who has never fished the skills and knowledge, both practical and ethical, to go to a pond and be immediately successful. 

Angling Educator is a four to five hour training course for Scouters and Scouts age 15+ (First Class+). It is a national course and is taught by BSA Certified Angling Instructors. The purpose of the class is to prepare program leaders to teach BSA Fishing Basics to Scouts and Cubs. The Angling Educator training teaches both fishing skills and how to plan and run fishing events for their unit, district, or Council. Angling Educators learn age-based and skills-appropriate fishing tools and techniques for simple cane pole and spin cast fishing. The course highlights best practices in both the classroom and in the field.

Graduates Can:

• Teach Cubs and Scouts to fish, and help them be more successful at catching fish.

• Gain knowledge and learn skills that can be enjoyed and shared for a lifetime.

• Improve day camp & summer camp attendance through fishing program options.

• Provide a major tool for recruiting and retaining Cubs and Scouts at the unit and district levels.

Notes:

Graduates will receive a BSA Angling Educator patch.

Coffee and light snacks will be available.  Bringing a lunch is recommended.  No other equipment needed.
