#MeritBadgeMondays are back for fall! 🍂

First up? The Fishing Merit Badge. This badge teaches so much more than how to cast a line or bait a hook – it’s about reel patience, hard work and determination. Plus, it helps youth discover how to be both resourceful AND respectful of nature. 

During the interview, #EagleScout and Longhorn Council Fishing Committee Chair Michael Cawood shared more than fishing expertise – he reminded us how #Scouting impacts young people, and how those young people, in turn, bring momentous, positive change for their communities. We recognize the truth of his sentiment – and we thank him for his time and help in #Scouting.

We’re curious – what’s your favorite fishing memory from Scouting? Did you – or a Scout you know – earn this badge? Let us know in the comments!
 
P.S. – This series is ongoing and requires help from subject matter experts just like YOU. If you’re located in the DFW area (or are willing to travel to DFW), have a connection to #Scouting and can speak with authority on one or more badges, please reach out to us at Social.Media@Scouting.org. If you are under 21, please CC a trusted adult or parent.
