Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundations' mission is to implement an informed, consensus-based national outreach strategy that will increase participation in recreational angling and boating and thereby increase public awareness and appreciation of the need to protect, conserve and restore this nation's aquatic natural resources.


Take Me Fishing announces three great new patches for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to earn while sharing their love of angling. It's fun, it's easy and it's right at your fingertips.

Passport Patch



The Passport Patch program is an introduction to fishing and boating for Cub Scouts. Scouts take part in a fun and exciting six step interactive program that teaches various skills every angler needs to be knowledgeable, safe, and confident while fishing and boating.

The Passport Patch is the coolest new patch around. The Passport to Fishing & Boating is a fun, adventure-education program designed to teach the skills needed to dive into the wonderful world of fishing and boating. It’s fun and easy to do with the help of a pack leader or parent. Once your pack has these basics under their belts, you’ll be ready to get out on the water and start fishing.

How can you earn the Passport Patch?

  • Step 1:
    Ask your Troop Leader to register for the Passport Program.
  • Step 2:
    Complete three or go through all six exciting interactive stations designed to teach Cub Scouts and Scouts everything about the basics of fishing and boating. It is a perfect indoor activity, taking no more than an hour and 45 minutes, and the perfect skill-building opportunity leading to your First Catch patch.
