Although historically Scout camps have provided support to the [[Boy Scouts|Boy Scout]] program, many Scout camps also provide day and residential programs for [[Cub Scouts]], and a few have [[Venturers|Venturing]] and/or [[Sea Scouts|Sea Scout]] opportunities.<br /><br />Depending on your local area, most Scout camps provide a varied aquatics program, including some or all of the following: swimming, lifesaving, canoeing, rowing, small-boat sailing. A few local Scout camps offer organized sail training programs or week-long cruising experiences. Additionally, the [[http://www.bsaseabase.org/|Florida Sea Base]] offers a varied aquatics-focused program that includes sailing, scuba diving, and out-island adventures in the Florida Keys</div> || <div align="right">__TOC__</div> || | ||

- | The Boy Scouts of America requires that all BSA-owned or operated watercraft receive annual [[http://safetyseal.net/|Vessel Safety Checks]] from the [[http://www.cgaux.org/|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 Scouts|Sea Scout]] program and some [[Boy Scouts|Boy Scout]] and [[Venturers|Venturing]] units. | ||
