Polaris Lives!
Our USN motor surf boat has been mechanically restored and runs great after 2 decades on land.
A special thanks to all the members of our unit and community that came together to make this possible.
New Kid on the Block
We’d like to announce the newest addition to our growing fleet. A 40’ Admirals Barge formally on the USS Abraham Lincoln. This has been aptly named the “Shoemaker” after Vice Admiral Shoemaker who this boat was assigned.
With over 50 combined years of leadership experience from our parent volunteers and an obvious excitement and desire from our scouts we know we have a great program. And we know that this program can accommodate many more who could benefit from the experience and give the average teen an opportunity that many don’t normally get.
BUT, we very much need your help to keep it going. We need the communities, families, and friends to help support the affording the costs that go along with a valued program like this.
Please take a moment and find it in your heart, especially at this time of year, and donate to our program. Any help, no matter how small, would be a great assistance in keeping this program alive and touching the lives of many teens to come.
Thank You!
Welcome Aboard!
Meeting Dates
Please check the Calendar for meetings, events, and upcoming cruises.
Why hide out in your room with your face buried in a smart device or xbox playing the latest game. There’s an alternative.
You can get out and experience life an learn hands on skills like our kids do. They took their motor surf boat out and traveled up and down the delta and enjoyed a day on the water. Some of our newer scouts learned the basics while some of our more experienced scouts honed their sailing skills.
This is one of several vessels that we have that allow our scouts to enjoy the outdoors and have an incredibly fun time leaning skills that they can take with them through the rest of their life. DEFINITELY TIME WILL SPENT!
