Sea Scouts, BSA

Seabadge is intense leadership and management training focused on the “how-to” aspects of successful Sea Scout program management. Seabadge does not cover topics like boating, knots, or other program-related materials found in the Sea Scout Manual. Conference participants and staff function as a model ship to help participants understand how a ship should function. The curriculum includes twenty sessions, with established objectives, that are presented in a motivating and informative forum. Seabadge is an advanced leadership training program designed for experienced Sea Scout adult leaders. Participants must: 1) be currently registered as a Sea Scout adult leader or BSA professional or commissioner staff or district or council volunteer working with Sea Scout ships; 2) if a Sea Scout adult leader, be actively involved in the Sea Scout program at least one continuous year prior to application; and 3) obtain Scout executive (or designee) approval from your council.
