- Jul 24 -30, 2011 (Boston, MA - New Bedford, MA)
- Jul 31 - Aug 6, 2011 (New Bedford, MA - New York, NY), and
- Aug 7 -13, 2011 (New York, NY - New London, CT)
Who should apply?
Any Sea Scout who is interested. The ideal candidate will be an active Sea Scout who is at least Able rank, a leader in his or her Ship, a SEAL graduate, 16 or 17 years old, in the 10th or 11th grade at the time of application, and with an interest in the Coast Guard or other military or maritime career.
