1. A Sea Scout must be at least Ordinary rank before he or
she can start recording cruising time for the Long Cruise Badge.
In order to qualify for this badge, the Sea Scout must have
cruised two weeks on any vessel or boat provided by the local
council or ship, or their own vessel when authorized by an adult
leader in that Sea Scout Ship. Each additional long cruise badge
is marked by a red arc above the badge, until five such cruises
have been completed. Then a single white arc replaces them above
the badge.
In the event that it is not possible to make a two week
cruise, a series of weekend or overnight cruises on any
boat or ship may be made, provided that the total number
equals fourteen days. (Note: An overnight cruise
lasts two days; a weekend cruise starting on Saturday and
ending on Monday, will be counted as three days.)
There is no requirement regarding distance and number
of miles.
2. The Long Cruise badge is an achievement, not a rank; therefore,
an adult leader may qualify for the badge without qualifying
for the Ordinary rank
