Welcome to the home base of Sea Scout Ship 940
based on Stillwater Lake at Camp Minsi

 


NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR 10-14 year old girls and boys.  We are forming Maritime Club 940 for middle schoolers.  Now everyone can add a water adventure to their regular scouting experience!  Click >>  HERE  << for an informational flyer.


Ship 940 is focused on water-based high adventure activities, utilizing Camp Minsi's Aquatics Base and watercraft. Sea Scouts is an older Scout program for young women and men, ages 14 up to 20.  Ship 940 meets once a month for in-person meetings to learn new skills, provide service and just have fun.  For 2023, our focus is on small boat sailing.  Maritime Club 940 (for ages 10-14) will be joining us. Ship and Club activities are available to registered members of Sea Scout Ship 940 or Maritime Club 940. Perspective new members may join us for one time to see if a water-based adventure program, in addition to your Scouts BSA program, is for you. Contact us for further details
