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.

A progression of home energy audits available to meet a homeowners information needs as they make home performance improvements. There is an audit available for any point on the learning curve.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
