What Makes Sea Scouting Different?

Sea scouting builds character through high adventure. As a Sea Scout you can learn to sail, paddle and to keep a boat in shape. You can cruise local waters or go sailing on long cruises far from home. You can learn to SCUBA dive, be active in camping, social events, tours, regattas, excursions and you can be part or a racing crew.
