In 1937, Sea Scouts started a program in Newport Harbor, using the skills of seamanship to teach the Scouting values of citizenship, fitness, and character. In the over sixty years since, thousands of young people have learned these ideals while they gain an appreciation for aquatic sports.
Sea Scouting is still a vital part of the Sea Base operations with over a dozen "ships" operating this special version of Venturing to high school aged boys and girls. Each group has a council-owned vessel assigned to them and they are responsible for its use and upkeep.
The Scout Sea Base features a two-story classroom/program building, which includes an upstairs meeting room. The new program docks allow easy launching of boats. Our program fleet includes sabots, FJ's, canoes, row boats, kayaks and capris. The Scout Sea Base is also a registered yacht club, which enables our members to compete with other youth.
