Sea Scouts is the water-based branch of the Boy Scouts of America, offering teens the chance to learn sailing, navigation, boating safety, and maritime traditions while developing teamwork and leadership. Founded in 1912, Sea Scouts combines hands-on seamanship with community service, giving young people the skills and confidence to thrive on and off the water.

What Sea Scouts Do

  • Learn sailing, powerboating, paddling, and maritime skills

  • Practice navigation, safety, and stewardship of waterways

  • Develop leadership through teamwork and service projects

  • Explore career pathways in marine trades, the Navy, Coast Guard, and environmental sciences

Why It Matters

Sea Scouts helps participants grow into capable leaders while building friendships, confidence, and respect for the environment. The program is a natural complement to Rising Tide Boatbuilding, carrying skills from the workshop to the water.

Who Can Join

Sea Scouts welcomes young people ages 14–20. The program is co-ed and designed for teens ready to challenge themselves on the water and in leadership.
