Any suggestions? I think I might go with a simple bucktail streamer,
but would like to mix it up with some different patterns, maybe a
nymph and an easy dry. I want to be able to offer the scout tying
kits, or figure out how to raise a little cash to donate some kits.
So material cost for the patterns I choose is an issue. Anyone can
just throw chenile, herl, and a few feathers in a kit, but I want to
put together kits with materials that the scouts will be seeing in the
101 or demonstration.

You might have them tie a Renegade. Decent wet or dry and will give them
some exposure to wrapping tinsel, peacock hearl and hackle. If you choose
this fly, wrap the hearl around the tying thread to strengthen the wrap.
Makes for a much more durable fly.
