Troop –
Please see the below message from BSA Florida Sea Base. Several different types of adventures are available, and a crew typically consists of 6 scouts and 2 adult leaders. The Sea Base website, www.bsaseabase.org , is very informative. Adventures are available during Christmas break, spring break, and summer break. If you are interested, perhaps the troop can put a crew together.
Leaders –
As you know, nothing happens without adult leaders. If you are interested in Sea Base, please let me know, and I can assist you in entering the lottery or in selecting an open registration subsequent to the lottery.
Parents –
If you are interested in attending Sea Base with your son, please let me know so that I can get you a leader application.
