Due to another rainy weekend, we postponed firemanship training and planned an event in the classrooms at St. Stephen’s to train the cadets on various skills from their troop manuals.
The first part of the training was how to properly carry and fold the American flag. The cadets were taught that the flag should never touch the ground and that when carrying the flag the stars should always face forward. They also learned how to properly fold the flag into a triangle.
The second part of the cadets training was on fishing. One dad taught the supplies needed, including the proper state license, and places where to go. Another dad taught the kids basics of fly fishing, tying flies, and how to properly cast. Finally, once the rain cleared, the boys were able to go out to the church field and practice how to cast a line using actual fishing poles.
