SEA SCOUT MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Sea Scouting is to provide a meaningful introduction to the traditions of the sea while promoting the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America.
Sea Scouting serves over 250 youth in Sam Houston Area Council ith the services of over 200 adult volunteers.
Sea Scouting in Sam Houston Area Council is organized and served in the traditional districts. However, because of the unique Sea Scouting program and the necessity to share equipment, we have a Fleet organization to facilitate providing a quality program to high school and college age youth.
Sea Scouting is a part of Venturing, a co-ed program for young men and women 14-20 years of age. Sea Scout ships are involved in a variety of activities on and around the water. Sam Houston Area Council ships sail boats from Sunfish 12 feet long to 32-foot auxiliary powered sloops. We also paddle, row and motor on our inland lakes and rivers.
The fleet owns several boats of various sizes that are available to all ships in the fleet. The Minto Rendezvous on Labor Day weekend and the Spring Rendezvous are high points of the annual program, where Sea Scouts compete in nautical skills.
