Uniforms:

In the early history of Sea Scouting, the United States Navy type of uniform was found to be most representative of this maritime heritage program. Uniforming is an important part of developing program recognition and self-identity among Sea Scouts. The purpose of the uniform is to single you out as a member of the Sea Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America – a Sea Scout! By wearing the Sea Scout uniform, you make the special statement to those who observe you that you have a special way of living and that courtesy, thoughtfulness, and honesty, among other core values, mark your character.
