Sea Scout Centennial

Sea Scouts is 100 years young in 2012.  The United States of America version of Sea Scouting was founded 2 years after the Boy Scout movement was chartered in the United States.  It is Scouting's oldest focused group.

FOTSS is proud to help the National Sea Scout committee of the Boy Scouts of America in it's celebration efforts.

The National committee has authorized the only official national patch to celebrate this anniversary.  They have directed that all profits be pledged to the National Sea Scout Memorial fund.

They have also authorized a special burgee for ships to fly on their vessels.
