BSA Scout Camps are owned and operated by the local council of the Boy Scouts of America. Although historically Scout camps have provided support to the Boy Scout program, many Scout camps also provide day and residential programs for Cub Scouts. Depending on your local area, most Scout camps provide a varied aquatics program, including some of all or 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 Florida Sea Base offers a varied aquatics-focused program that includes sailing, scuba diving, and out-island adventures in the Florida Keys |
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.
