Sea Scouts are a division of BSA - Venturing Program and are USPS partners
in boating safety skills education and training among America's youth.  Sea
Scouts may become apprentice members and are an outstanding example of a
non-traditional source of members for USPS.  Consider working with either
the Sea Scouts or any division of the Boy Scouts (Cubs Scouting or Boy
Scouting) as a way to share our expertise in boating and to attract new
members.  The BSA needs merit badge counselors and we need new and younger
members.  This a "win-win" program for both organizations.  Contact your
area Boy Scout Council and speak with the Council Executive about ways to
work with Sea Scouts/BSA.  Remember, working with youth is a way to build
for tomorrow!
