Sea Scouting offers young people the opportunity to develop confidence, teamwork and practical skills through adventure on the water. It combines the values and educational method of Scouting with a distinctive maritime focus rooted in seamanship, safety, environmental stewardship and service. Across Ireland and Europe, Sea Scout Groups operate in coastal, riverside and inland communities, adapting their programme to local waterways and resources.
This page provides introductory guidance for communities who are considering establishing a new Sea Scout Group. It is designed for local volunteers, parents, maritime clubs, schools, communities and civic leaders who see the potential for a youth programme connected to water activities and maritime heritage.

The guidance also contains tips for revitalising a Sea Scout Group, and also for existing Scout Groups who might want to become Sea Scouts.
