A zoom meeting was conducted to explore how a Maritime Exploring Club (ages 10-14) can work with and supplement a Sea Scout Ship (ages 14-20).  For additional assistance, please contact:  Walt Witucki, Sea Scout NST-13 Membership Coordinator at wwitucki@gmail.com.

During the call we discussed:

1. Relationships: Exploring (Learning for Life) and Sea Scouts (Boy Scouts of America)

2. What is a Maritime Club and how is it different from a Sea Scout Ship

3. How the two programs complement each other and facilitate crossover

4. Real life experiences of NST-13 Ship/Club 129 and Ship/Club 940

Individuals invited were:

1. All NST-13 Skippers, Committee Chairs and membership chairs

2. Council membership initiative leads

3. Ships with low membership

4. Advocates who want to initiate / return Sea Scouting to their Council
