Eagle94-A1 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 HAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHA! Sea Scouts are Scouts too and will camp. My Long Cruise consisted of camping out on an island.

revdmv Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Our troop has an affiliated ship. Same number as the troop meet same night and location as us. A number of the troop are also Sea Scouts. Many, like my son, move to the ship when they age out. It's nice to have the older guys still around, and we've built high adventure crews(Phil, NT, Sea Base) from a mix of the troop and ship.

He mentioned that, and said that they will help remind the boys that they can still do this. I was surprised, when he told me the camp too. I thought they only did activities on the water. 1 hour ago, Eagle94-A1 said: HAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHA! Sea Scouts are Scouts too and will camp. My Long Cruise consisted of camping out on an island. Camping is just cruising on very slow moving waves of earth. ⛵ : 🏕️ = ⛺ : 🏝️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashmaster Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Well, my son has met with two ships this week and he is taking to the sailing like a duck to water. He just glows when he is on the water. The skippers talk about advancement and he shuts down so that will come at some point in time or not. He is happy which is awesome! He is excited to make the next events! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep harping on Eagle and he just shuts down. He is almost to Life rank now but isn't interested. I frankly just want him happy, drives me crazy people are so focused on Eagle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle94-A1 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Understood. My uncle harped on me to get Eagle. I would not push him, and he may change his mind. We have one Scout who was only interested in earning First Class so he could go on the AT. Now at 16 years and 11 months, wants to earn Eagle. He went to an Eagle COH and it inspired him.

CalicoPenn Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Oliver Perry also served on and commanded boats in the Mediterranean Sea, the West Indies and the Caribbean - I think he earned his sea chops. It could also be said that Lake Erie is an arm of the sea. Back in 1987, as part of the America's Cup competitions, the Heart of America, sponsored by the Chicago Yacht Club and practicing on Lake Michigan, competed in the Louis Vuitton Cup. The rules of the America's Cup required all boats to practice on the sea. The Heart of America went to the New York Supreme Court and got the court to agree that because of it's connection to the St. Lawrence Seaway, Lake Michigan is an arm of the sea and therefore the Heart of America was practicing, for the intents of the America's Cup, on a sea. If Lake Michigan is an arm of the sea because of its connection to the St. Lawrence Seaway via Lake Ontario, then surely Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake Superior is an arm of the sea. And if these lakes are all arms of the sea, then surely lakes like Lake St. Clair, Lake Nipigon, Lake Winnebago, Lake Nipissing and Lake Simco, which are all connected to the Great Lakes via river systems, are all arms of the sea. And if that's the case, the any other lake connected via river systems connected to the Great Lakes - either directly or through other connections, are arms of the sea. And if that's the case, then we can take it to its ridiculous extreme by saying that Lake Nokomis in Minnesota is an arm of the sea because it is connected to Minnehaha Creek which is a tributary of the Mississippi River and the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan are connected via rivers in Illinois and a canal that connects the river system to the lake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bath tub empties out into a sewer system which, after treatment, empties into a river system, which flows to the gulf. So me and my rubber ducky are officially seafaring men. Argh, shiver me timbers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
