Currently they barrow my 5wt or 8wt and fish with me. A couple of kids dads already have a rod. I have never built one, but if it is not too hard we can do it. I can send you a reciept for a charitable donation to our troop, just put down what you consider the prices to be of the components. Building a rod may be just the ticket, since there is no rush on finishing this badge. The reason is we will probably have to wait until spring to catch a bass or bluegill to give the boys thier 2nd type of fish caught.

My daughter is a girl scout, I will talk to her leader also, but I think the girls are rather young, 8 yrs old.

Thanks

Sheldon,
Have you considered carp for their 2nd type of fish? This would really test them.
