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:
Relationships: Exploring (Learning for Life) and Sea Scouts (Boy Scouts of America)
What is a Maritime Club and how is it different from a Sea Scout Ship
How the two programs complement each other and facilitate crossover
Real life experiences of NST-13 Ship/Club 129 and Ship/Club 940
Individuals invited were:
All NST-13 Skippers, Committee Chairs and membership chairs
Council membership initiative leads
Ships with low membership
