Report:
On Sunday 10/3, 15 scouts and 5 adults attended the Rock Fishing Trip. The event was led by Tony Liang, Mr. Clark, and Ms. Wang. The boat went out of the bay and stopped at different places for the scouts to fish. Many people got seasick but most also got a lot of fish. Each scout was allowed a maximum of 10 fish each and the scouts with more gave them to other scouts. The scouts ate their snacks and lunches on the boat. The boat returned to the dock earlier than planned because many were tired of being seasick. When we finally arrived at the dock, the fish were split evenly among scouts, and some planned gut and clean the fish themselves at home for the fishing merit badges. Overall, the outing went smoothly and every scout got fish to eat.
