Coast Guard Auxiliary - Sea Scout Training Crosswalk

Youth Programs has compared the available Coast Guard Auxiliary training to Sea Scout advancement requirements and has developed a crosswalk between the two. All Auxiliary courses that provide relevant training are identified and mapped to Sea Scout advancement requirements. This makes it easy to locate high-quality training that teaches Sea Scout skills, which is useful both for Auxiliary instructors and for Sea Scouts.
