What is Sea Scouts?

Sea Scouts, BSA is a program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women ages 14 to 20.

For over 100 years Sea Scouting has promoted better citizenship and improved members’ boating skills through instruction and practice in water safety, boating skills, outdoor, social, service experiences, and knowledge of our maritime heritage.

Sea Scout units - called ships - are established all across the country on oceans, bays, rivers, and lakes. They provide limitless opportunities and exciting challenges that you won’t find anywhere else. Sea Scouts is a place to grow and learn, find adventure, and build long lasting friendships.

We here at Sea Scout Ship 117 place high emphasis on these values and take every opportunity we get to improve our skills and further our leadership abilities.

Ship 117

Ship 117 meets every Tuesday of every month at the Tuckerton VFW  (30 Gifford Rd, Little Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08087) starting at 6:30 pm. Our meetings consist of learning new skills, planning excursions, and serving the community. 

Like the regular Scouts, BSA program, Sea Scouts also emphasizes youth leadership in which our youth members take on leadership roles that plan our meetings and guide our unit in the right direction.
