Sea Scout Ship

VFW Post 6812 of Hayesville voted to charter a Sea Scout Trip. It is for youth 14 to 20 years of age/co-ed. For those Boy Scouts who are now members of a troop/or crew they can register in the Sea Scouts at no charge. It offers education in the fields related to ‘seamanship’ with activities that can range from seamanship type events: small boat handling, to becoming a qualified seaman and safe boat handling. It also has its very own ‘ranks’ and leadership positions with unique uniforms all its own.

Sea Scouts can open many doors to the high school age student for scholarships to outstanding colleges and universities all over the USA and beyond.

For those interested in more information, there will be an organizational meeting on the 26^th of January 2008 at the VFW Hayesville Park in the ‘John Corn’ building at 2:00 PM sharp.
