  • 8 ½” x 11” white paper, at least one piece for each Cub Scout 
  • Crayons or markers, enough to share 
  • Fishing books with information about types of fish in your area and their habitats 
  •  Printed material from the local Department of Natural Resources 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Gather books or print out information about fish in your local area and their habitats. 
  2. Set up the meeting space with a place for Cub Scouts to create their flyer. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Explain that during the meeting, Cub Scouts learn about aquatic ecosystems and fish habitats. 
  2. Say the following:  “Congratulations!  You have just been hired by Off the Hook Reel Estate Agency, which matches fish clients with their dream habitats.  You want to make a big splash, so choose one of our local fish species and create a flyer showcasing the aquatic ecosystem you think would be their perfect match.  Make sure you include highlights like water type, water temperature, water depth, any special features like kelp, rocks, piers, and places to hide from predators.  Also, include local food sources.  After everyone is finished, we will share with each other.” 
  3. Cub Scouts can use the resources available to create an informative and eye-catching flyer, “selling” an aquatic habitat to a local fish client.  
  4. When everyone is finished creating their flyer, have the Cub Scouts share them with the den.
