Scout Camps

The Boy Scouts of America requires that all BSA-owned or operated watercraft receive annual Vessel Safety Checks from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or the U.S. Power Squadrons. These watercraft are employed in support of Scout camps, as well as the Sea Scout program and some Boy Scout and Venturing units.
