Current Activities

Ship 510 is working with Ranger Stan Stanley of Camp Moultrie to promote aqua activities. The camp has 45 boats of various sizes. We are providing leadership for maintenance and training, with the goal of helping other scout units to activity use this resource. Starting in 2007, we have provided organization leadership for the annual Sailoree program. For the year long program, we are meeting one Saturday per month for boat maintenance and sail training. This is open to all scouts as an individual or a unit. To be informed, you need to be on Skipper THom Harrison's email list.

Notes on membership: Ship 510 is a coed unit for teens 14-20. A Venture Scout can be members of more than one unit, such as, Boy Scout and a Venture. If a scout is working towards an Eagle award, he can continue in a Venture unit if he has reached the rank of First Class. Teens do not need any prior experience in aqua activities. Our goal is to offer experience. They do not need prior membership in a Scout unit. Our goal is to help teens develop leadership, responsibility and decision making skills.
