Seabadge

Seabadge is the official advanced training program of Sea Scouting in the BSA. The course is designed to provide the program specific management techniques that can improve the quality of the ships' programming. It is an intensely participatory experience for the participants as they interact with one another and the faculty in seminars, workshops, role playing and discussions. The concepts are presented by veteran Sea Scouting leaders who will serve as the faculty for the course. At the same time, you will learn methods on how best to expand the program to allow more of our young people to be served in our communities.

Seabadge participants will be selected from nominees recommended by their local councils. Any registered Sea Scouting leader who is active in the operations of their ship or council is eligible.

The Venturing Division conducts training courses each year at Philmont Scout Ranch and Florida Sea Base.
