Sea Scouts is a specialized segment of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Venturing, program, which was organized in the USA in 1912 to promote boating skills and knowledge of our maritime heritage to youth.

Sea Scout units, called “ships,” focus on sailing and cruising either sailboats or power vessels. During the boating seasons, Sea Scouts learn to maintain and operate their vessels, with a focus on learning the safe and proper methods of handling boats. Sea Scouts also learn the rule of safe navigation, anchoring, docking, and seamanship.

As part of Sea Scout Ship 9316 we are dedicated to encouraging the development of character, integrity and physical fitness in our youth. We want to be an opportunistic outlet for youth in the community to experience high adventure activities, such as sailing. The Sea Scout program is very intentional with its youth leadership design and the way it empowers youth to be the ones who step up and use their individual gifts. Our Ship also desires to be involved as much as possible in our local and global community by volunteering as well as teaching others the skills we have been fortunate to learn.
