Cub Scout Fishing Rodeos will be held in several locations across the Greater Alabama Council in September 2011 for new and returning Cub Scouts to start off the Scouting year with an exciting outdoor activity. This will be a time for Cubs and their families to participate in a wide variety of activities focused around FISHING and SCOUTING! Packs are encouraged to use this as their first outdoor activity on their pack calendar in 2011.

Cub Scouts will have an opportunity to learn about and compete in casting competitions, meet local celebrities, and of course FISH! There will be a special advancement area where Cub Scouts will be able to earn the Bobcat Award and Fishing Belt Loop.

The fee is $11.00 for one Cub and one parent/guardian. The fee for two Cubs and one parent/guardian is $16.00 Other family members are encouraged to attend at a cost of $7.00 each. The fee includes lunch, program supplies, and activity patch (for the Cub Scout only). Please bring personal fishing equipment and bait. Please indicate on the registration form if you would like to purchase additional patches for $2.00 each. PRE-REGISTRATION IS ENCOURAGED! www.1bsa.org

Parking and Registration:

• You will need to wear a scout uniform or class B shirt in order to get in the gate for free on Saturday morning.
• The park has informed us there will be a charity run fundraiser at the park on Saturday morning. The run will be from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. If you arrive between 8 and 8:30 you will likely have to wait for the runners to pass for a few minutes. **To help offset this congestion we will open registration at 7:15 a.m.** Please arrive early to miss the traffic.
• The park has requested that we fill the marina and park office parking areas first.

Competitive Awards:

• Trophies will be awarded for the 1st through 3rd place fish by length for each Cub Scout Rank as well as for the biggest, smallest, and ugliest fish. Please remind the boys that no people will be counted as ugly fish!

Fishing License:

• State law requires all adults that fish to have a fishing license. You can visit the state licensing website by clicking here.

Bait

• A limited quantity of worms will be available for sale in the park office directly behind the registration tables. Worms can also be purchased at Wal-Mart and any local tackle store.
