CHAPTER XVIII

THE SCOUT EXECUTIVE AND SEASCOUTING

by James A. Wilder-Chief Sea Scout

A. The Objective. TO EXTEND THE SCOUT MOVEMENT.

1. The executive or squadron pilot is in exact relation to seascouts as he is to shore scouts, for Seascouting is an integral part of Scouting.

Pilots are expected therefore to urge the naming of "ships" (registering of seascouts) as a means of extending the Scout Movement in the United States among boys and men.

The Course. HOW FOLLOWED.

By an appeal for adult leadership in the tried and true course to good citizenship Scouting-of which Seascouting is the official graduate course. appeals for both men and boys are several:

The

(a) An appeal to the watercraft instinct. Undoubtedly woodcraft is the best bait in the scout program-but there are rivers to cross, lakes to navigate, and watermanship, seacraft, boatmanship, seamanhood, are acquired on water and in the big outdoors holding the same charm for a certain type of man and boy as woods and campcraft have ever held for their devotees, the "woodsies."

(b) The appeal through new and more dangerful experiences in boats-under oars and under sail. The seaman is a woodsman fully prepared. To be prepared on sea as well as land as a part of a man's education, this calls men of the seagoing blood.
