Fishing Derby and Camping Trip

The annual Pack 44 Campout & Fishing Derby will be held Friday, May 16th - Saturday May 17th. Come flex your angling skills and have a great time with your fellow scouts!

Have a friend interested in scouts? Help us spread the word about Cub Scouts and invite them join to your family for some fishing fun! 

This is a free event for all attendees! 

Key Details

Camping: The campout will begin after 6PM at Camp Mack. We camp at the campsite right next to the lake - please park by the cabin and bring your gear down! We will host a cracker barrel by the fire later in the evening, but we will not be serving dinner. 

Fishing: 

We will officially kick off the derby at 9AM - if you're not camping, please plan to arrive by then. Scouts can warm up prior to 9 but any fish caught before the official derby start will not count towards any prizes. 

> Please bring your own poles and tackle. There will be some shared supplies available, but it always helps to be prepared with your own equipment!

> There is no seating at the lake, and limited seating in general, so definitely bring your own seats for camping and fishing. 

> For those camping, we will have breakfast prior to the start of the derby. 

>Parents who wish to hook a fish need to have a valid fishing license. If you just plan to help your scout/scouts, then no license is required! You can get a license same-day online from the PA Game Commission site or at retailers such as Bombergers. 

>Please plan to wear your activity shirt/Class B - no Class A uniform required!

>There will be a friendly competition to test your fishing prowess - including biggest fish, most fish, first fish caught, and others!

Please sign-up below by Tuesday, May 13! The sign up form also has a link to signup genius for cracker barrel and breakfast supplies. 

NOTE:  The Fishing Derby event on Saturday, May 17th (9:00 am to 12:00 pm) will be open to friends interested in seeing how much fun we have in Cub Scouts and Pack 44! The Friday night campout and Saturday morning breakfast will be for current Pack 44 members only.
