BCYC / Boca Ciega Yacht Club

Boy Scouts of America Sea Scout program, Ship 915, is organized to promote better citizenship and to improve members’ (13 to 21 years) boating skills and knowledge through instruction and practice in water safety, boating skills, outdoor, social and service experiences and knowledge of our maritime heritage.

With BCYC adult oversight these young men and women plan the direction of their program, govern their members, and learn to help others through safe sailing. Most importantly, Sea Scouts graduate with the leadership skills that are best developed by commanding a sailing yacht with a crew of five or six other Scouts. Adult Volunteers are always appreciated.

Currently, Ship 915 has 21 Youth Members of varying ranks:

No Rank - 12
Apprentice - 4
Ordinary - 2
Able - 3
