Shares Sea Scout Ship 378's (The Dawn Treader) experience with the introductory swiftwater rescue course as part of the Paddlecraft Sea Scout Advancement Elective, competed 3 Sep 16
Volunteer instructors aboard ISEA vessels are considered passengers by the Caost Guard and are not allowed to have assigned duties involving safety or operation of the vessels. It is important, however, that ISEA instructors be aware of safety procedures and equipment found aboard each ship. Your primary role is supervision of your student group.
The Standards of Training, Certification & Watchkeeping, or STCW, changed the training practices for maritime workers internationally. It requires workers to demonstrate skills in safety or learn them through a series of courses. The required courses are included in the Basic Safety Training course.
Old but interesting and relevant even today. See the summary where it states that sewn terminations are not recommended for rope access use. Food for thought

Introduction of Sea Scout Ship 117, VFW Post 7402, Buchanan, GA to the Indian Springs District, Atlanta Area Council Scoutmasters, Committee Members, and interested parents.
In addition to Sea Scout advancement to develop youth leaders, we serve troops by sponsoring aquatics, vocational, navigation, and other Sea Scout program-related merit badge to surrounding Councils.
The First (1st) Class requirement and Camping merit badge requirement is to show how to enter a waypoint into a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver (GPSr), then follow the GPSr to destination. This presentation shows the logic of how Lat-Long coordinates are used from a map to create routes, establish waypoints, determine length of trail, figure time of arrival, and a host of other things a GPSr will do automatically when the user understands how land navigation procedures work with a map and compass.
The primary purpose of this presentation is to help parents teach their Scouts how to capture waypoints using the Cartesian coordinate (x,y) system learned in a basic algebra class using the event map and tools provided: grid tool and corner tool.
Over time, as land navigation procedures are practiced on backpacking trips and orienteering races, these concepts will help Scouts stay found. It helps Scouts and Sea Scouts understand Lat-Long coordinate system concepts.
Introduction to Sea Scouts is Ship 378's way of communicating ideals and basic aquatic survival skills to new Sea Scouts.
This year, we're establishing the 1st girls Scout troop, so we elaborated basic Boy Scout advancement requirements for Scout-1st Class to train the chartering youth leaders.
A major goal of this presentation is complete a slew of requirements that have nothing to do with boat handling and seamanship that all Sea Scouts have to know anyway.
The intent is to complete almost all Apprentice Seaman requirements in a single weekend. Normally, we close with an induction ceremony as part of a Sea Scout Landship ceremony. Because our focus is on training troop youth leaders and not new Sea Scouts this year, we eliminated it this year only. This gave us time to focus on other important ideals, such as outdoor ethics.
FYI: We succeeded in completing everything except knots and kayak handling. We'll do that as part of Kayaking merit badge next week!

Sea Scout Skipper simplifies set of sloop sailing skills needed to win some Sea Scout races at regattas. To compete and win in sailing clubs, additional and more refined skills are needed. The most important thing to do beyond what is presented here is to read, understand, and apply the Racing Rules of Sailing controlled by the International Sailing Federation.
Many sailors will argue our methods don't work. We are unconventional and we win races. Our techniques also work well in recreational sailing.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
