Twin Valley Council is hosting a Certified Angler Training
The Twin Valley Council will be hosting a Certified Angler Training at Camp Cuyuna (near Crosslake, MN) May 31 – June 2, 2024. Certified Angler Training is the official BSA certification program for those volunteers wanting to host fishing programs for their unit, district, or council programs. This is a great training opportunity for:
- Your fishing / fly fishing merit badge instructor or Scouts BSA Summer Camp this summer.
- Fishing program leaders at Cub Camps.
- Any unit leader that wants to offer a fishing program as part of their unit program.
- A member of a district or council that runs fishing programs as part of your overall camping/outdoor programs.
- Cub leadership wanting to offer any of the new elective fishing adventures for the new Cub Scout program being rolled out in June.
- Any Fishing or Fly Fishing Merit Badge Counselor.
- Anyone interested in fishing and teaching others to fish.
Fishing is the 5th most popular program that Cub Scouts want to participate in (behind camping, the pinewood derby, hiking, and STEM) and the 4th most popular program Scouts BSA want to participate in (behind camping, hiking, and high adventure). Fishing and fishing programs are a great recruiting and retention tool for Scouting.
