Before the meeting: 

  1. Remind parents and legal guardians that Cub Scouts are to bring their fishing gear to the next den meeting. 
  2. Set up the meeting space for Cub Scouts to have room to show their fishing gear. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Ask Cub Scouts to spread out around the meeting space with their fishing gear. 
  2. Tell Cub Scouts that you will be reading the gear list from the Tackle Box Tune-Up worksheet.  They need those items to be prepared for the upcoming fishing trip.  As you call out the item, the Cub Scouts are to hold it up. 
  3. Discuss any additional items the den or Cub Scouts need to bring to be prepared for their fishing trip. 
  4. Review the following: 
    • Is their fishing gear the proper size for the fish that they will be targeting? 
    • Is their fishing gear clean and in good working order? 
    • Is their fishing gear properly threaded and attached to their reel and hook or lure? 
    • Are your hooks clean?
