  • Fishing pole
  • Tackle box
  • Cub Scout Six Essentials
  • Closed toe shoes
  • Bait
  • Anything else that the den needs for the fishing trip

Before the meeting:

  1. Remind parents and legal guardians that Cub Scouts are to bring their fishing gear to the next den meeting.
  2. Create a list of required fishing gear for the trip.
  3. Set up meeting space for Cub Scouts to have room to show their fishing gear.

During the meeting:

  1. Ask Cub Scouts to spread out around the space with their fishing gear.
  2. Tell Cub Scouts that you will be reading a list of items that they must each have to go fishing. As you call out the item, they are to hold it up.
  3. Review the fishing rules:
    • Fish with proper adult supervision.
    • Get permission to fish where you plan to fish.
    • Check the weather before you go. Do not fish in a thunderstorm or inclement weather.
    • Use the buddy system. You must be able to see them.
    • Give plenty of room to others who are fishing nearby.
    • Never fish where people are swimming.
