More Event Details
This first time opportunity for younger Girl Scouts to get "hooked" on fishing with this workshop for younger girls. Inspired by the "Run Like A Girl" video, we know that there are lots of things that we can do "like a girl." Girls will learn the basics of fishing including knot tying, tackle, and casting. Other topics that will be covered are: conservation, regulations, fish anatomy (dissection), and fish identification. And, of course, we will be fishing!!!
