BSA: Sea Scouts "S.E.A.L.TRAINED" Black Uniform Patch (Brand New)

Description: BSA: Sea Scouts "S.E.A.L.TRAINED" Black Uniform Patch (Brand New) The SEAL training program is designed to teach leadership skills while underway. SEAL is designed to “jump start” the junior leaders of new Ships and to fine tune leaders of experienced ships. It is a demanding and remarkably rewarding hands-on leadership experience. New and experienced Sea Scouts will succeed at SEAL so long as they are willing to learn and work hard at preparation.History and Purpose In 1996, the National Sea Scout Committee created a new youth leadership course called Sea Scout Advanced Leadership (SEAL) training. The course is designed to develop leadership skills in young adults. Seamanship is the medium through which the course is taught; however, nautical skills are the means, not the end. This course, which utilizes an “at sea” experience as a laboratory, is intended to teach and apply leadership skills. There are few other media offering the opportunity for young people to actually put leadership skills utilizing group dynamics into practice. In SEAL, there is no “play acting.” All situations and tasks are real, not created. Bad decisions or team failure can produce immediate and real problems.Curriculum This week long “at sea” experience allows the student to learn and apply new skills immediately. Courses consist of five to seven youth with a Course Skipper and two instructors. Each instructional module relates to a specific leadership skill with exercises designed to show mastery of the concepts taught while under the leadership of the boatswain of the day. SEAL is not a seamanship course. All applicants are expected to have basic seamanship skills prior to arrival. While the material is the same at all venues, it’s delivery will be specific to the unique environment and vessel of each site.Skills TaughtEvaluationTeam BuildingLeadershipTrainingCommunicatingGoal SettingPlanning & PreparingMotivatingManaging, Supervising & CommandingCounselingImplementing & Re-ImplementingProblem SolvingPreparing for SEAL SEAL candidates must arrive at the course prepared to learn, lead, and excel.

They must know and understand the basic nomenclature of a sailing vessel; know and understand helm commands and points of relative bearings. All of this information is in the Sea Scout Manual.Conducting the Training This course is managed by the National Sea Scout Committee and has been conducted at Chesapeake Bay, the Texas Gulf Coast, the Pacific, the Ohio River Valley, Florida Keys, Long Island Sound, and the Great Lakes. Course dates vary but are always held in the summer months.
