Fishing with the Boy Scouts

[A-con]

Every year i set up a camping & fishing trip with my sons Boy Scout troop.
I went up to Courtright lake, at 8,000 ft Friday and pre fished the lake, then started setting up camp.
The boys and some of their parents showed up Friday night.
This year we have a bunch of new scouts and a lot of them had never caught a fish before.
We fixed that.
All day Saturday I took them out trolling, two at a time in my small boat.
11 boys boated 27 trout.

The scenery at Courtright is always worthwhile

Good for them and good on you for doing that! Who knows, you may have steered a kid towards a lifetime in the outdoors.

Super work as usual A-con!

I can say that my interest in the outdoors was greatly furthered by my time as a Boy Scout. Lord Baden Powell's creation has certainly changed over the years, but it is still a vital part of many boys-to-men transformations. I am glad that you are investing into your son and other troop members lives.
