Elected youth leaders plan and conduct the program, as adult leaders guide and support efforts to learn important leadership and life skills. As experience is gained, the opportunity will arise to contribute as leaders of the ship.

Sea Scouts are recognized and rewarded for the things you learn and do, earning 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.
