Scholarship Fund:
We provide program opportunities to any registered Sea Scout youth through our “Scholarship Fund”, regardless of their financial situation. A 14-day summer "Long Cruise" aboard YTB Propeller is typically $600 per Scout. A great way to support the Sea Scout program is to provide a $600 Long Cruise Sponsorship! If you wish to contribute to our Scholarship Fund, please make a note on the donation form below or contact us. |
