The Hooked on Scouting program has been developed to leverage the fun activity of fishing in order to reel in new Scouts during the recruiting season. This program will teach young boys all the techniques they need to know to get started along with providing actual hands-on fishing experience! By participating in the program, parents will discover the adventure Scouting can provide their families with the anticipation of experiencing the first time their Scout catches the big one!
Your council or district will host a community event for parents and youth to learn the basics of fishing and then get some actual hands-on fishing experience. All of the details (supplies, snacks, instructors, games) will be taken care of by the council or district. All the families need to worry about is having a great time. Through this simple interaction, parents will see the experience, friendships, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that Scouting can offer their children. It’s sort of a “test drive” of the Scouting experience. Scouting employees and volunteers will be on-hand to help with the event, answer any questions, and of course, sign up new Scouts!
Similar to getting ready for an actual fishing trip, it’s important that you have a well thought out plan of attack. Making sure you have all the pieces in place will ensure a successful event, even if the fish aren’t biting. Here are some things you will need to determine ahead of time along with some suggestions to help get you started.
