A breed apart, we are.

It used to be a father son thing. Fishing together, maybe hunting, and then taking kids to a sporting event. Much of this has changed because of many reasons, which I am not going to write about.. We all knows the many reasons why this has come about. I think we at least here are somewhat of a breed apart. I don't know of any group that endeavours to enjoy fishing the way the S-B.comers do. I know my brother Squid Kids Dad a an intensity about his fishing interest much the same as I do. Here it is the off-season, but still anywhare I go in my house I'll see something fishing. The most current Lou Tabory book next to the easy chair. A handful of flies just about everywhere. Down celler, well, nothing needs to be said about the celler. Hell I am even thinking about starting to sell my baseball card collection piecemeal on EBAY to finance my Kayak purchase. People everywhere I go, coffeeshop, work, downtown, hardware store, stop and talk fishing to me because they know that it is what I am, who I am. Not that I am one dimensional surely I'm not, but fishing is what relaxes me. It makes up such a large part of my existence, like it makes up everyone existence here, that thinking about fishing makes everyday easier. Fishing had me at hello!

Have any of you fine gentlemen ever thought of becoming a Merit Badge counselor for the Boy Scouts. They are always looking for guys that are knowledgable in certain fields to teach kids and help them earn their merit badges. It could help bring in the next generation of sportsmen.

There are lots of Sportsmen and Outdoor related badges that kids can work on.

Archery
Back-Packing
Camping
Canoeing
Environmental Science
Fishing
Fish and Wildlife Management
Fly Fishing
Hiking
Motor Boating
Orienteering
Pioneering
Rifle Shooting
Shotgun Shooting
Small-boat Sailing
Whitewater
Wilderness Survival

And they would love to have guys that have a passion for these help kids earn these badges....passion has a habit of rubbing off.

If anyone is interested here is a link to info on the Merit Badge Program

Merit Badge Information
