Sea Scouting is a coeducational program that specializes in maritime training for young adults from the ages of 14-20 years old. Our unit, Sea Scout Ship 303, (Based out of Webster, NY) focuses on sail-training aboard the tall-ship Lotus. This training includes weekly meetings and sailing trip in the summer months around the Lake Ontario Region.
Lotus, our sail training vessel, is a 48-foot gaft rigged antique wooden schooner designed by the famous naval architect William Hand Jr., which was launched in 1918.
During our weekly meetings and summer training, our members learn the skills necessary to run and maintain our sailing vessel as well as other aspects of maritime knowledge.
