Fishing Tournament for Scouts in Troops, Crews and Ships

Get ready to cast your line at the Angler Classic, the ultimate fishing derby hosted at the breathtaking Camp Strake, where anglers of all levels will compete for bragging rights and exciting prizes! Nestled in the heart of nature's embrace, this event brings together passionate anglers for an unforgettable fishing experience. Bring your lucky fishing shirt and best fishing gear, and prepare for a day of fierce competition, stunning views, and unforgettable moments for a chance to reel in the big one.

Camp Strake, renowned for its scenic beauty and a large lake, provides the perfect backdrop for this thrilling competition. Armed with their fishing rods, Scouts will have a chance to showcase their skills and reel in the big catch in the spirit of friendly competition. Anglers will swap tales of their fishing triumphs while sharing tips and tricks to outwit their fellow competitors. Prizes will be awarded for various categories, including the largest, smallest, and most fish caught.

Fishing Tournament

Three real baits will be available to participants – live worms, corn, and hot dog pieces. These are primarily
used for the Bluegill or Redear Sunfish. Plastic artificial worms will also be provided to rig up a Texas Rig primarily for the Largemouth Bass.

Awards

Awards will be given to both Scouts and Scouters in the following categories:

• Largest Bass
• Largest Sunfish
• Smallest Bass
• Smallest Sunfish 
• Most fish caught – Strake Master Angler 
• Overall Total Length of All Fish Caught 

Scoring

Scoring will be done on the honor system.  Each participant will be given a score sheet and a wooden ruler.  Each participant will measure their fish and write down the length (to the closest ¼ inch) and species of fish.

Our first camping trip of the school year is less than a month away. We are heading to San Miguel Park at Toledo Bend Lake for a weekend combining water adventure with serious leadership development.

Toledo Bend is one of the largest lakes in the South, with clear open water, miles of shoreline, a sandy beach, and sheltered coves perfect for kayaking, swimming, fishing, and exploring.

We will complete ILST – Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops, required for NYLT and designed to prepare us to lead with confidence and purpose. This training goes beyond holding a position in the troop. It is about working together, making decisions as a group, and leading in a way that reflects the ideals of Scouting. We will cover leadership roles, communication, and problem solving, then put those skills into action through challenges and team activities.

This is a reminder to sign up now. The trip is the first weekend after Labor Day, September 6 to 8.
