You can write to the Navy Uniform Support Center at 1545 Crossway Blvd. Suite 200, Chesapeake ,VA. 23320or fax them at 1-800-551-6289 . I highly recommend that you go thur the Sea Scout Manual, Also contact your council for support in literature,flyers, and a video. On obtaining boats and equipment, etc... Check out the SSM(p.324). As for training, the websites of councils near you could help. As well as attending SEABADGE . Powderhorn could help in some of the programs as Sea Scouts are part of the Venturing program. Many a Ships started out with canoes., One ship that I started m

SFmike The Quatermaster award in Sea Scouting is the most difficult award to earn in Scouting. MollieDuke check out Powderhorn training. Venturing is giving back to the community, service. Your on Track

First your troop has a Policy which both the boy and parents agreed to. The facts if this boy is comsuming alcohol, need to be known. As a concern leader, there are many programs through Law enforcement, schools, health professional, which can address alcohol and youth, which can be used at your meetings for both scouts and leaders/parents. As for advancement in rank,the scout should be informed of items or actions on his part which can denine him advancement in rank or other action that could take place. This should take place prior to a BOR, when the facts are known. At the BOR, if the

Well, my Grandfathers where adults when Scouting came to these shores, yet they all where involved in scouting, as was my father and mother, and my wife's father and mother. I'm going past 45 years involvement and my wife is not to far behind. Both our children are involved in scouting.All of my uncles and aunts where involved. Yet my sister kids did not get involved( sister is adopted) So it must be in the genes.

WHAT THEY STOP TRAINING? WHERE is the Paid Professional for your District? What happen to the Commissioner Staff, the District Committee, THE SCOUTING PROGRAM ???? No roundtable, no fast start vcr's, take the adults to other districts for training, invite training teams to your unit. Get a Venturing crew or Explorer post to help out.It is frustrating ,stay with it. The boys are the leaders, let them lead the adults to the program. Offer the very best progam that you can. It takes time, asks for help. Get them all involved.

CNY, Where are the Commissioners in the District ? Set the example, wear the uniform, follow the book, be prepared, show the skills of scouting to the boys. You will be surprised that others will follow. Have fun, it's for the boys. Do Patrol activities,enjoy.

Wow, Bring back memorably. "Barnacle Bill the Sailor", The "LumberJack", The Operation Skit, and so many more.Yes times are changing; while back scouts carried hatches,axe, sheath knifes, we ditch/trenched our tents, dug holes, and so much more like candles, matches, kerosene lamps,alcohol stoves. Sometimes it seens as if we are caught ,where what a scout can do out of uniform is more in the present day activities than the scouting program allows( jetski, para sailing, paint balls,etc...). Yet, in present times a boy can be expelled from school for pointing a finger as gun at another. As Bo

The spectrum of physical and mental disabilities is broad, yet none of these permanet disabilities should prevent the scout from being a participating member of a scouting unit. The opportunities to develop alternative requirements is limited only by the imagination. In 1995, alternate requirements for Tenedrfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks were established.These requirements can be found in the "Scouting for Youth with Physical Disabilities"(#33057C), "Scouting for Youth with Learning Disabilities"(#33065A), "Advancement Committee Policies & Procedures"(#33088C), and "Boy Scout R

I would like to see a Handbook for Skippers, as well.The electronic edition would be grand.
