Is your Scout the Complete Angler?

The Complete Angler patch is for scouts that are well-rounded in their fishing endeavors. There's a good chance some scouts have already earned it and just don't realize it yet. In the same manner as the World Conservation award, the Complete Angler recognition has a simple requirement of completing three merit badges, but also requires a project.

Earn the Boy Scout Complete Angler Award by:

1. Earning these merit badges: Fishing, Fly Fishing, Fish and Wildlife Management

2. Completing one or more of these projects:

Teach a Fishing or Fly Fishing merit badge skill to your troop, crew or team as part of a unit program activity.
Help instruct Cub Scouts on fishing skills or fishery management as part of a Cub Scout meeting or outing.
Participate in a local fishing derby or tournament, either a Scouting or Community event.
Complete a conservation project that will benefit a local fishery.

The Complete Angler patch is worn on the uniform shirt, centered on the right pocket as a TEMPORARY patch. Only ONE Temporary patch may be worn at a time

Download and complete this Application Form for each scout earning the award. Then, take it to your local scout shop to purchase the patches.
