Can a Sea Scout Skipper earn the Advisor Award of Merit ?

[Kahuna 172]

Yes, a Sea Scout Skipper is eligible for any Venturing awards that are available to an Advisor.

Thank you Kahuna,

 

I wish I lived in Hawaii instead of upstate NY. It is very hard to sail when you have ice and snow to deal with.

Other than Ice sailing, there is land sailing

Adviser, not Advisor

 

Both spellings are correct English but the BSA uses the one ending with er.

"Adviser, not Advisor

 

Both spellings are correct English but the BSA uses the one ending with er."

 

Sorry, but that is incorrect.

 

The BSA actually uses both terms.

 

In the OA, its "Adviser". In Venturing, its "Advisor". Don't believe me? Fine. Take a look at their office patches.

 

Or check the Language of Scouting (www.scouting.org/identity/los/index.html):

 

adviser

Use this spelling when describing a counselor other than a Venturing Advisor. Example: "Order of the Arrow lodge adviser."

 

Advisor

The top adult leader of a Venturing crew who is responsible for program, coordination, and the training of the elected youth officers of the crew or ship.

I stand corrected. I'll be in the corner eating crow.
