Up to 50 youth, ages 12 to16, who live or attend school in Scott County join dozens of Scott County deputies, police officers, fire fighters and emergency medical personnel in fishing boats; bait, fishing gear, beverages and food - all provided!
The idea behind the Scott County Sheriff’s Office Youth Catfish Derby is to give kids a chance to get to know public safety personnel as people. In addition, the derby gives young people the occasion to experience a hobby they can continue for a lifetime.
