Sea Scouting at Boy Scouts of America

Headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana, Nielsen, Carter & Treas LLC represents clients involved in insurance defense litigation, civil litigation, and the National Flood Insurance Program. In the philanthropic sector, Nielsen, Carter & Treas LLC contributes to nonprofit organizations such as Boy Scouts of America. 

One of the largest values-based youth organizations in the United States, Boy Scouts of America offers a specialized Sea Scouts program alongside its traditional Scouting opportunities. Focused primarily on boating skill and maritime heritage, Sea Scouts is divided into units called “ships.” Each ship focuses on sailing paddle boats, power vessels, or sailboats. Sea Scouts learn about safe and proper handling of boats, as well as navigation and leveraging the wind and tides while sailing. 

In addition to boating skills, Sea Scouts receive formal training in first aid, CPR, lifesaving, and Coast Guard Auxiliary Sailing. In some cases, Sea Scouts ships may organize regattas between crews or social events with other ships.
