Young men would develop personal character\u2014pluck, patriotism, and intelligent discipline\u2014through a sense of duty. By teaching boat management and seamanship, young men would also gain individual knowledge to help them become self-supporting. Sea Scouts performing coast guard duties, lifesaving and salvage at wrecks would also perform invaluable community service.<\/p>\n<p>Baden-Powell\u2019s belief that Sea Scouts would combine the best attributes of seamanship with training in character was shared by the Boy Scouts of America. Two years after the Boy Scouts of America was born, Sea Scouts was organized in the United States with the aid of the Secretary of the Navy in 1912.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>The Sea Promise<br \/>\nAs a Sea Scout I promise to do my best:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To guard against water accidents<br \/>\n\u2022 To know the location and proper use of the lifesaving devices on every boat I board<br \/>\n\u2022 To be prepared to render aid to those in need<br \/>\n\u2022 To seek to preserve the motto of the sea: Women and Children First<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liam Ballantyne (left), son of Peter and Angela Ballantyne, as he goes into his Eagle Scout Board of Review.
