Sea Scouts (Scouting Ireland)
Sea Scouting (Irish: Gasógaíacht Mhara) has existed in Ireland since 1912 and is a popular programme framework within Scouting Ireland.
Sea Scouting Groups operate as autonomous, volunteer-led community groups. Sea Scouting Groups operate in the same way as other Scout Groups except have a stronger focus on water safety, seamanship training and activities on the water.
The programme is designed to foster a love of adventure on the water alongside building technical activity skills and leadership afloat.
Typical activities may include; dinghy sailing, rowing, rafting, swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, powerboating, canoeing, marine science and oceanography, keelboat sailing, engine maintenance, chartwork and navigation, preservation of maritime heritage, water safety and seamanship; ropework, line-handling, meteorology, boat maintenance, communications.
Ireland and Sea Scouting is rich in maritime culture so you will often find Sea Scouting Groups emphasising a nautical framework and tradition in their activities.
- Patrols are called Watches.
- A Section Leader is called Skipper.
- Most Sea Scouting Scouts, Ventures, Rovers and Scouters will wear the Navy-Knit Sea Scout Jumper, belt and duck (hat) as their uniform.
