Welcome To Sea Scouts
For over 100 years Sea Scouting has promoted better citizenship and improved members’ boating skills through instruction and practice in water safety, boating skills, outdoor, social, service experiences, and knowledge of our maritime heritage.
Adventure
What makes Sea Scouts so unique is getting out on the water. Sea Scout ships use a variety of boats from paddle craft, small outboard motor boats to large sailing yachts and vessels.
Advancement & Awards
Training
Sea Scouts receive training in seamanship and leadership. From ship meetings, long cruises, a USCG sponsored Safety at Sea, you will be learning every step of the way whether you realize it or not.
