Summary
The Florida National High Adventure Sea Base is owned and operated by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America to offer unique educational aquatic programs to our members. Located in Islamorada and on Summerland Key in the beautiful Florida Keys, as well as Marsh Harbour, Great Abaco Island, Bahamas, the heart of the Florida Keys, the near shore reefs and crystal clear waters offer unparalleled opportunities for long term and short term programs year round.
The Florida Sea Base offers a broad range of adventures for visiting Scouts and leaders: Bahamas Tall Ship Adventure, Out Island Adventure, Coral Reef Sailing, Florida Fishing, Scuba Certification, Scuba Live Aboard, Florida Keys Adventure Program. All of these programs are very busy, and participants who have prepared ahead are able to use their time more fully. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is in a unique position to provide training and mentoring to Scouts and leaders who will be participating in a Florida Sea Base expedition.
