DCMM Looks to Set Sail with Sea Scout Program

February 8, 2022 by Laurel Ciohon

Sturgeon Bay, Wis. (February 8, 2022) – For the first time in decades, you may see Sea Scouts in Sturgeon Bay.

The Door County Maritime Museum has approached Bay-Lakes Area Council on restarting a Sea Scout unit operating in the area. A division of the Boy Scouts of America, Sea Scouts operates on the four pillars of seamanship, scouting, social, and service. Units are organized as “ships” as they are primarily established near oceans, bays, rivers, and lakes. They participate in activities like SCUBA, boat safety and maintenance, and lifesaving.

The co-ed program has more than 50 million program alumni, including Door County Maritime Museum Executive Director Kevin Osgood.  During the education process, he learned that Sturgeon Bay had an active program as late as the 1980s and used to work out of the ship Utopia, which Peterson Builders built in Sturgeon Bay. With the museum’s other educational endeavors and the support being shown in the community, he hopes the Sea Scouts program will sail again.

Currently, girls and boys ages 14-20 would have to travel as far as Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Milwaukee, Waukesha, or Wausau to participate in Sea Scouting. You can contact the Door County Maritime Museum if you would like to be a member or a leader in the program.
