AHOY! Start Planning Now. Mark your calendars for July 19–22, 2012, to sail with Sea Scouts from across the nation and around the world in celebration of a Century of Sea Scouting. Join with hundreds of Sea Scouts and friends of Sea Scouting as we commemorate the first Sea Scout activities undertaken by the Boy Scouts of America in 1912.

This exciting and historic event will take place in Baltimore Maryland's Inner Harbor. This will commence four days of celebrations are planned to markone hundred years of service to the youth of America through the Sea Scouting program. The culmination will be a Fleet Review of the Parade of Small Ships as they sail past Fort McHenry, Birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner and a gala 100th Birthday Dinner with cake, dancing, and maybe fireworks. Vessel berthing accommodations will be available in the inner harbor for Sea Scout ships arriving by water. Sea Scout units arriving by other means can be accomodated in the area. Various options are set out in the Boarding Manual.

The Particpant cost is $90, which includes a commemorative patch, entrance to the mini-regatta, the Parade of Small Ships/Fleet Review, Saturday night's dinner-dance, and the Sunday Blessing of the Fleet. Vessel Berthing is free of charge if a commemorative burgee is purchased.
