Each Troop should be looking at the Fishing Merit Badge book.  If your Troop wants to cook fish at the end of the day that will be great.  Staff will have a designated area to clean the fish, and cook the fish.  NO CLEANING OR COOKING OF FISH IN TROOP AREA WILL BE ALLOWED.  Each Troop needs to bring their cooking equipment.  Each Scout or Troop will be responsible for supplying their own fishing gear.
