| - | Boy Scouts of America safety standards require that all vessels, whether owned by BSA or by others, that are used in a BSA aquatics program must have an annual Vessel Safety Check (VSC). VSCs are conducted by CG qualified Vessel Examiners, and are most often Coast Guard Auxiliarists or members of the U.S. Power Squadrons. Conducting a VSC annually serves as a safety check to ensure that Scout boats are properly equipped, and also provides the Vessel Examiner an opportunity to discuss and promote recreational boating safety. It is also an excellent opportunity to promote the Coast Guard Auxiliary to the Scouts and their leaders. | + | Boy Scouts of America safety standards require that all vessels, whether owned by BSA or by others, that are used in a BSA aquatics program must have an annual Vessel Safety Check (VSC).
