Troop 508 Summer Fishing Photo Contest – Now through 8/31; prize for best photo

“Fishing Photo” can be a lot of different things: photo of your big catch, great sunset from the lake where you’re fishing, funny pic of a family member who fell asleep in their chair while fishing, etc.

Over the summer take pics whenever you go fishing and email them to along with a short 50 words or so write up on the photo.  You can enter up to 5 photos over the summer.

Please enter only pics from summer 2017.  Good luck!
