Angling Educator Class

October 18th

What is Angling Educator Class? 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. Class is for adults and Scouts 15 or older (exceptions at discretion of the course coordinator, but Scouts must be mature enough to teach other Scouts).
