Sea Base is a unique Scouting program that offers aquatics programs found nowhere else. Troops choose adventures that could include sailing, scuba diving, rustic camping on an undeveloped barrier island, fishing, or a combination of them all. Each year Sea Base serves around 16,000 Scouts and adult leaders across locations in the Florida Keys, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas.
Keys Sailing Adventure programs operate in the Florida Keys from Islamorada, FL, located 85 miles south of Miami.
Setting sail from Islamorada, crews embark on three days of live-aboard adventure at sea. Upon returning to base, they are housed in eco tents with bunk beds and air conditioning. The remainder of the adventure includes days of snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, and a visit to historic Florida Keys sights.
