NEW Openings for 2025 and 2026 Sea Base!

What is Sea Base?

Through Scouting America, Sea Base programs empower youth through ocean exploration, adventure, and education.

With 3 locations in the Florida Keys, 1 in Abaco Bahamas, and 1 in the United States Virgin Islands; youth participants can choose from 20 different adventure treks which include options for camping, conservation, coral restoration, fishing, marine education, ocean paddling, live aboard sailing, scuba diving, and snorkeling.

Founded in 1980 as Scouting Americas first co-educational facility, Sea Base has safely served generations of scouts and middle and high school students. Since 1994, Sea Base has been recognized as a World Organization of Scouting Movement Scout Centers of Excellence for Nature, Environment and Sustainability.

Safe, nationally, and internationally recognized, Sea Base is Ocean Adventure at its finest.
