Sea Scout Advanced Leadership Training |
Chesapeake SEAL Training June 21 to
June 29, 2008
|
The Boy Scouts of America has a new junior leader training course and award. It is called Sea Scout Advanced Leadership Training (SEAL). This is a one week, hard core leadership course that is conducted at sea. If you successfully complete the course you will be awarded the SEAL Training award, which is a silver pin with twin dolphins, to be worn on your uniform.
This course is a leadership course, not a seamanship course. The course covers such topics as preparing, goal setting, organizing, supervising, commanding, communicating, training, motivating and other topics that will assist you in functioning as a leader in your Ship and in life.
To attend a SEAL class you must be a registered Sea Scout. You must be Ordinary rank by 1 June 2008 and you must study and have a working knowledge of Chapter four of the Sea Scout Manual.
The SEAL Class that will be held on the Chesapeake will run from June 21 to June 29 , 2008 and the class on Long Island Sound will run July 26 to August 3, 2008. You must furnish your own transportation to the departure points. The cost of this course is $225.00, including food and course materials. The course will be taught on a 40 foot plus Ketch or Yawl depending upon the course location. A course using a powerboat, rather then a sailboat, is available but will be conducted in Florida.
