Before the meeting:
- Spread out frisbees in the casting area to serve as targets. Decide how many points Cub Scouts can earn for landing in each frisbee. The further the frisbee the more points they are worth.
- Print Cast & Learn scoresheet, one for the den.
During the meeting:
- Explain to Cub Scouts that they’ll be practicing casting their fishing pole and that the goal is to hit the center of the target.
- Remove any hooks from the fishing poles and replace them with flat washers
- Demonstrate how to cast the pole toward the target. Cast the pole five times and add up your points for the five casts.
- Have Cub Scouts line up and practice. When they are ready allow them to go to cast for a score.
- Take turns casting five times. After their five turns, tell them to add up their points and record their score on the den scoresheet.
Tip: With slight modifications, you can use the same fishing poles for the Fish Names Game, Cast & Learn, Cast-A-Thon Relay Challenge, Crazy Casting Spin-Off, and Cast-A-Thon Relay Challenge.
