This is an opportunity for those scouts interested in earning the FISHING MERIT BADGE.

 

OCBSA is providing the following: 

 

On July 11th and August 7th we have ocean fishing trips leaving Dana Wharf Fishing at 6:30am. We return to the docks at about 12 noon.The trips are only $60 per person. The normal price is about $130. This includes boat, tackle, rod, reel, breakfast and crew tip.
