You may cruise aboard “America’s Tall Ship” the USCG Barque Eagle. In Sea Scouts, you build your own adventure!

Advancement and Awards

Sea Scouts are recognized and rewarded for the things they learn and do. You can earn valuable certifications in Scuba, boating safety, lifesaving, and CPR, as well as advance in rank from Apprentice to Quartermaster. Each certification and level of advancement marks your growth as a sailor and a leader.

Training

Sea Scouts receive training in seamanship and leadership. From regular ship outings, to long cruises, to a weekend of Coast Guard training at Safety at Sea, to the weeklong SEAL (Sea Scout Experience Advanced Leadership) training, you will be learning every step of the way whether you realize it or not.

Focused on the Future

No matter what draws a Sea Scout to the water, a future career in the military, the maritime industry, or a lifelong hobby of recreationaal boating, Sea Scouting will provide hands-on seamanship and leadership training that will put a Sea Scout one step ahead of the rest, no matter the path they choose.
