Note:
The following requirements reflect the current standards as found in the
Sea Scout Manual, 10th edition (2000). There are some minor
revisions from the 1997 printing of the Sea Exploring Manual, but
none that will make earning rank advancement substantially easier or
more difficult.
Current
copies of reference materials, such as merit badge pamphlets, U.S. Coast
Guard navigation rules, International Yacht Racing Rules, OSHA
requirements, International Code of Signals, and others change
frequently. They should be available in your ship's library and are not
reprinted in the Sea Scout Manual.
Note:
Boy Scout merit badge requirements are used in Sea Scout advancement.
Merit badges and other Boy Scout insignia except the Eagle Award are not
worn on Sea Scout uniforms.
