      Santa Cruz Sea Scouts

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      An enjoyable Sunday morning article, written by someone who understands and delivers the program, particularly the need for strong community partnerships. ...In a time when many young people are increasingly disconnected from the natural world, the Santa Cruz Sea Scouts offer something rare. They provide real responsibility, real skills and a meaningful relationship with the ocean. They remind us that the harbor is not just infrastructure. It is a classroom, a training ground and a launch point for future stewards of the coast.  ...What makes the Santa Cruz program unique is both its setting and its fleet. The Sea Scouts own and operate two vessels. The Pearl is a 38-foot power trawler built in 1978, and the second is a 30-foot Catalina sailboat from 1979. The sailboat is particularly special. After an extensive search, the right boat was found, one that fits the harbor, fits the dock, and most importantly, fits a lot of kids. These are not museum pieces or luxury yachts. They are working boats, sized so youth can truly learn every system onboard, from engines to rigging to navigation.

      @mylo_cat and others, what would a fair price be, now that this is a collector's item?  My son is home from college, and may part with his.  He is not as "attached" to Scouting as I am.

      Ebay, or Scouting memorabilia shop. Good luck finding one. It may take you 30 years to find one you can afford.

      Thanks — I did read prior threads, both now and also at the time that the program was discontinued. I'm specifically hoping someone has an idea about where I can get the actual, physical award; maybe in your local Scout Shop or maybe your troop has extras on hand. And thank you for the welcome! I've enjoyed reading the forums here for years. As a parent of Life and Eagle Scouts and a Scoutmaster of 4 years, I've learned a lot from you folks and hope to continue.
