Help a non-fisher out.
Our Cub Scout Pack Wants to go fishing so I was looking at the requirements of the Fishing Badge. Can anyone tell me what "toe an angling outfit" means?

Re: Cub Scout Fishing Badge Question
spell check was not a friend to all here. replace toe with use

Re: Cub Scout Fishing Badge Question
I can't find an online source for what an old English verb "toe" means here. Fortunately, the Cub Book page online has been updated replacing "toe" with "use".

Now... "outfit" on the other hand:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outfit
an assemblage of articles that equip a person for a particular task, role, trade, etc.:
an explorer's outfit.
Whereas modern usage, perhaps "kit" would be better. (Not to be confused with the name for young beaver.)
There are lots of "old terms" in Cub/Scout books that need to go. My favourite is "canteen", whereas the common term now is "water bottle"... but perhaps that is a separate debate.
