🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from Sea Scouts Jupiter Ship 778! 🦃

As we gather with family and loved ones around the table today, we pause to give thanks for the countless blessings in our lives—the open water that teaches us resilience, the shipmates who’ve become family, the skills we’ve mastered together, and the adventures that lie ahead on the horizon.

We’re especially grateful for: ✅ Parents & families who support every cruise, meeting, and cleanup ✅ Leaders and volunteers who give their time so we can grow ✅ The Scouting community that keeps the spirit of service alive ✅ The sea itself, our greatest classroom and playground

May your day be filled with good food, warm laughter, and the same sense of gratitude that ties us all together—on land and at sea.

Fair winds and Happy Thanksgiving! ⚓❤️

🌊 Sea Scout Safety Moment: 10 Boating Essentials ⚓

Hey Sea Scouts, families, and boating buddies! As we gear up for adventures on the water, remember: Safety first, fun always! The BSA Sea Scouts program teaches us to be prepared and responsible mariners. Here's your quick checklist of 10 Boating Essentials to keep every trip smooth and secure:

1. Life Jackets (PFDs) – Wear 'em! One for every person on board, properly fitted.
2. Throwable Flotation Device – Type IV cushion or ring for emergencies.
3. Sound-Producing Device – Whistle, horn, or bell to signal for help.
4. Visual Distress Signals – Flares, flags, or lights (check expiration dates!).
5. Fire Extinguisher – Charged and accessible; know how to use it.
6. Navigation Lights – Working and ready for low visibility or night ops.
7. First Aid Kit – Stocked with bandages, meds, and seasickness remedies.
8. Anchor & Line – Right size for your vessel to hold steady.
9. Bilge Pump or Bailer – Keep water out and stay afloat!
10. VHF Radio or Communication Device – Charged, with emergency channels programmed.
