#SeaScoutShip272 #makeseascoutsgreatagain In Ship 272, the Sea Scouts use their seamanship and teamwork skills to repair/improve the mainsheet traveler.

On a cold, foggy morning in October why is power washing so satisfying? #makeseascoutsgreatagain #SeaScoutShip272

Due to shut down, have not been to meeting place for months...Had to go to pick up the Sea Scouts' uniforms for an event coming up. Here are old uniforms of two Ship 272 scouts now in US Navy. They say everything they learn in Sea Scouts is helping them during training. Ship 272 Sea Scouts stay on the water.

Cruise #2: Done. After spending all summer building up sailing skills. After 2 Cruises. Do you notice some old salt swagger?

Homeward bound on cruise #2...

People were impressed with Sea Scouts at the marina. The Sea Scout Crew Leader took the opportunity to explain what Sea Scouts do.

#SeaScoutShip272 Cruise #2 last of the Season...Outward bound to Cold Spring Harbor. Beating to windward. In Ship 272, even the watch below has to help.

Below is a text sent to the Ship 272 Quarterdeck by the Bosun who just Joined the Navy. He is giving them advice on anchor watch. Ayeee pay attention to watchstanding, its essential and a real thing, I have to stand watch tonight so if u think its just a Sea Scouts thing its not Sea Scouts helped me with all this stuff Yall lucky it gets way more complicated and u cant mess up because u also have to record on a deck log too and u cant mess up the deck log ao pay attention everything Skipper of Ship 272 teaches is vital

#SeaScoutShip272 What this series of Videos shows is Sea Scouting right out of the Sea Scout Manual. The scouts are planning for Cruise #2 by plotting courses beforehand. Like the Manual says, they write down the course and distances now so when underway they can calculate speeds a make Dead Reckoning Plots. Can anyone explain why they are adding 13?

Skipper enjoying benefits of well trained Sea Scouts: sit all the way aft and just take pictures of your feet.

#SeaScoutShip272 . Again marking when we pass a bouy. They have been sailing all summer by September they are really trained up.

#SeaScoutShip272. On daysails when we pass buoys we mark them on the slate. After the sail the scouts record it in the logbook.
