Adventure begins when you break the surface.
We play, learn, & lead with waters spilling from the Virginia Piedmont.

Navy League STEM Expo. We took opportunities to test robots, build boats, visit academy (1|2|3) & university (4) reps, inspect USCG & ONR programs/scholarships, and meet industry leaders.
Rain drove us inside, cutting our exploration of the harbor short. We swam, shopped for food, fought for supremacy on a favorite video game, played hands of poker, and prepared Asian-style pancakes.
We bunked at the WD facility: Girls (A/E/S) took a room; P got a couch. J and his dad met us at the event. We also met future sea scout, K, and his mom.
Class B | Pancakes made with meringue and custard

Thanks to S from T671 that helped. He also had the honor of testing the life saving board while perfecting a sunburn.

About Sea Scout Ship 2 / Adventure
Our Passion
We SCUBA dive. We have a few options -- Lake Millbrooke, Lake Phoenix and Little Bahamas, There is always Florida!
Our Waters
We reach the world from North Fork wetlands, Bull Run, Occoquan, Potomac, Chesapeake, & beyond.
Our Limits
We push'em. We return with interesting stories, building character, serving, and doing stuff far beyond those allowed for younger scouts.
Our Facilities
We sail, kayak, and float. We work and race on SSTV Beluga, our Pearson 26, sail on SSTV Der Pelikan, and train aboard SSTV Michael-S.
Our Grounds
NCAC Camp William B. Snyder is our base. The camp offers access to projects, boats, water, & camping. Plus, it exposes us to regional troops, crews, posts, & ships.
Our Direction
We are a scout-led ship. We intend to reach wherever our sea scouts, the current, and the wind takes us. Find out more about us and our programs.
Sea Scouts BSA is unique in that "[m]ore trust and responsibility [is] placed on a Sea Scout than all other programs combined. We challenge them to learn, lead, and pit their skills, ability and judgement against the most dangerous environment humans dare to go."
