Sea Scouts started in the USA in 1912. Ship 12 started in the hills of eastern Ky in 2005. How can you do Sea Scouting in the rural Appalachian mountains? Get the book, read the book, find a boat, and follow the program. It works!We hooked up with Dr. E.D. Roberts, a local physician who has a 38 foot concrete sail boat. Yes, it is made of concrete and it floats very well, thank you. We are learning the basics of sailing out on Fish Trap Lake.
I don't know the first thing about boats, so I'm learning too. Sea Scouting is 50 % boating and 50% leadership skills. The youth members like it and they are getting to do new things and developing new skills. That is what Scouting is all about!
