Directions

Before the meeting:

Identify the location where the den will go fishing.
Research the type of fish that live and may be caught at your fishing location.
Check that the fish you will be fishing is listed on the Fish Flash Cards, if not, create a flashcard for it.
Print out the Fish Flash Cards from Additional Resources.
Set up meeting location so Cub Scouts and Tiger adult partners can complete activities in the Tiger handbook.

During the meeting:

Gather Cub Scouts and have them open their Tiger handbook to page 34.
Share with the Cub Scouts that we all know that fish live in water, but did you know that not all fish can live in any type of water? Some fish live in the ocean where the water is salty and cold, some fish live in rivers or streams, and some fish live in freshwater lakes. In your Tiger handbook, you see three different types of fish who each live in three different types of water. With your Tiger adult partner, color and match the fish with the body of water they live in.
Once the Cub Scouts have finished, review that tuna are found in the ocean. Trout is a type of fish that is found in rivers and streams. Bass is a type of fish that is found in lakes. Tuna and trout are fish that are often a source of food. Bass is known as a sport fish, it isn’t caught for food, they are just fun to catch.
Share with the Cub Scouts and Tiger adult partners the details of your fishing trip, date, time, and location. Describe the type of water that you will be fishing in– lake, river, ocean.
Next tell the Cub Scouts and Tiger adult partners you are going to review different types of fish and identify the types of fish you will be fishing for on your fishing adventure.
Hold up one fish card at a time and ask the den where they think the fish lives, lake, river, or ocean.
If the fish is a type of fish you may find in the body of water you are fishing at, set it aside and when you have gone through all the cards, review those fish that you may find in the body of water you are fishing at.
Discuss what type of bait those fish you are fishing for like.
