Fly-fishing merit badge

Sad that it
is the least earned badge from 1911 to 2006, but then I don't know how
long it's been available.

As the other poster said, it is relatively new. Getting involved is a
simple as calling your local scout troop and offering to help.

I've had the pleasure of helping two separate groups of boys obtain
this badge. I think I learned as much or more than they did. I took the
first group off to the Colorado river and one of the boys caught a 22"
bow on his first freeking cast. I'm on my third group now and they've
gotten through a woolly bugger and a pheasant tail, next week is a
parachute pattern. Their "graduation" trip is going to be in the
Smoky's the middle/end of October.
