Sea Scouts Ship 400
The Boy Scouts of America have long taught practical and mental skills to the thriving youth of this wonderful nation since 1910.
Sea Scouting was a branch off of the main organization that helped hone the abilities of young boys through learning maritime necessitates. Tying complex knots, ocean navigation, and so on.
In 1936, a local Jacksonville chapter was formed after the construction of four buildings by the Works Progress Administration, one of which in the shape of a ship!
