Cub Scout Event - Hooked on Scouting
2026-04-17 00:00 - 2026-04-19 00:00 | Tompkinsville Veterans Park, 1701 Mill Creek Rd, Tompkinsville, KY, 42167
Hooked on Scouting is a fun and competitive event where anglers gather to show off their skills, catch the biggest fish, and develop outdoor skills, conservation awareness, and character values such as sportsmanship and integrity. It is a great opportunity for fishing enthusiasts to come together, enjoy their favorite pastime, and learn practical skills like knot-tying and casting, while fostering a love for the outdoors. Fishing derbies have several benefits including promoting camaraderie among participants, fostering community, encouraging and supporting conservation efforts, and providing educational opportunities. These events often have specific rules such as catch and release policies, size limits for fish, and designated fishing areas. These rules ensure fair competition and help protect the fish population. To prepare for our event, please ensure you have a valid fishing license if required by state regulations and have reviewed the specific event regulations, such as catch-and-release policies and size limits. Following these rules ensures a fair competition and upholds the Scout Law of being obedient and sportsmanlike. Ready to win big? We have some awesome prizes up for grabs! While the top prize goes to the Scout who hooks the biggest fish, we’ll also be rewarding 2nd and 3rd place, along with special categories to give everyone a chance to reel in a prize. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there are plenty of chances to win. It’s time to test your skills and land that trophy fish!

The Lincoln Trail District is excited to announce the return of our Merit Badge College and we are once again partnering with Hardin County Schools Early College and Career Center. This year we have added opportunities to also work on STEM Nova and Supernova awards in addition to Protestant Religious Emblems. Additionally, we have again embedded some requirements for the Scholarship merit badge into all merit badge classes. This will enable Scouts to earn the Scholarship merit badge once they complete the remaining requirements after the event. So, some Scouts can earn three merit badges. Together, we hope to provide a great opportunity for Scouts to earn merit badges and awards while gaining knowledge, developing new skills, and exploring the world around them. Lastly, AOL Scouts crossing over are invited to attend if their new Troop supports them working on a merit badge at this event.
This year’s event Co-Chairs are Chris Adams and Jason Seery. Please contact them with all questions and concerns at: lincolntrailmbc2026@gmail.com.
