Sea Scouts (BSA)

Sea Scouts is a program within the Boy Scouts of America's Venturing Program. It is a nautical program for young men and women ages 14-20. It is the BSA's implementation of the Sea Scout program first developed by Baden-Powell in England. The program today was developed originally in 1924. The advancement scheme for Sea Scouts places an initial emphasis on nautical skills before encouraging the youth to take a major role in planning activities in the unit. In Sea Scouting, youth are called "Sea Scouts", units are referred to as "ships" (and many adopted names), and adult leaders are called Skippers (Advisors) and Mates (Associate Advisors).
