As the US Coast Guard Auxiliary’s national youth leadership program, the Sea Scouts have an opportunity to nominate up to ten (10) Sea Scouts who have completed their junior year in high school for priority consideration by USCGA’s Admissions Office. Sea Scouts interested in seeking appointment as a Cadet at USCGA, or interested in pursuing a Coast Guard career, are highly encouraged to apply.

USCGA’s AIM application (link in bio) must be submitted directly to USCGA following their selection guidelines.

.
This scuttlebutt is for Sea Scouts, or prospective Sea Scouts, so Venturers or Scouts BSA youth are welcome to come. This event is hosted by the National Sea Scout Quarterdeck and will have Sea Scouts from across the country. Skippers, Mates, and Committee Members should watch on the Facebook or YouTube live steam, so Scouts can be attend the Zoom.
.
During this event you will have the opportunity to:
.
Socialize with our National Quarterdeck and lots of other youth from across the nation:
Gain knowledge about best recruitment methods for youth and adults: and
Ask questions not only about recruitment, but leadership, water activities, the Quarterdeck, and Sea Scouts in general.
.
Why is this event called a Scuttlebutt? On sailing ships, the Scuttlebutt was a place where sailors could have fresh water. It was one of the few common areas where a sailor could relax while talking with their shipmates.
