Sea Scouts
are members of the international Scouting movement, with a particular emphasis
on boating and water-based activities. These activities can be on the sea,
rivers or lakes. Sea Scouts can provide a chance to sail, cruise on boats,
learn navigation, learn how to work on engines and compete in regattas.
Sea
Scouts often have distinctive uniforms. In
some countries or scout
organizations, Sea Scouting is a program just for older Scouts.

One of the earliest records of "Sea
Scouts" is in Chums magazine which refers to "Sea Scouts"
as early as July 1909. These Sea Scouts were part of the Chums Scouts and British
Boy Scouts.
