Founder of Scouting’s Vision
Robert Baden-Powell – 1908:• “…A Scout should be able to
manage a boat, to bring it properly alongside a ship or pier…”
![Page 6: This is Sea Scouting Ship 378 Style](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042714/554e3203b4c90518468b4747/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Brother of Founder’s Vision
Warington Baden-Powell – 1911:• “Sea Scouting is simply a brand of Boy
Scouting.”• “Scouts first, seamen afterwards.”• “Sea Scouting is not necessarily a
scheme for turning out a boy as a ready-made sailor with a view to his going to sea. But rather to teach him, by means which attract him, to be a handy, quick and disciplined man, able to look after himself and to help others in danger.”
