Presentation by the Sea Scouts

Originally organized in the United States in 1912, Sea Scouts was created to serve as an extension of traditional Boy Scout training. Young men would develop personal character—pluck, patriotism, and intelligent discipline—through a sense of duty. By teaching boat management and seamanship, young men would also gain individual knowledge to help them become self-supporting. Sea Scouts performing coast guard duties, lifesaving and salvage at wrecks would also perform invaluable community service. Sea Scouts would combine the best attributes of seamanship with training in character was shared by the Boy Scouts of America.

Today, Sea Scouting continues in the same traditions established over 100 years ago by Lord Baden-Powell. Sea Scouting offers a unique opportunity for young men and women in high school to learn all aspects of nautical life while developing invaluable lifelong skills, making new friends, and having a great time.
