Seabase Lottery Win
Exciting News For Troop 81!!! We have won a spot for Seabase High Adventure Camp located in the Florida Keys for 2015 (Next Year) This is one of four National BSA high adventure camps. Slots are awarded by lottery and we have a short period of time to commit to keep this slot.
Date of departure: Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Date of return: Wednesday June 3, 2015
Type of activity: Sea Exploring
Details: Scouts and leaders live aboard a 70 foot three masted schooner as it sails through the keys. Meals, sails, maintenance, and navigation duties are all performed by the scouts. There will be time for snorkeling and we spent one portcall day in Key West. We do not leave US waters.
Who is eligible?
Scout must be at least 13 years old and completed the eighth grade or be 14 years old at the time of sailing; Adult leaders must weigh less than 295lbs.
What does it cost?
The entire boat package is $15,900 split among the number of scouts/leaders going. This includes all fees, supplies and food.
If we have a full crew(20), that would be $795. per person plus cost of transportation which will likely be by auto.
What is due when:
A nonrefundable $100. deposit is due now to hold your spot. Checks must be received by Thursday March 20.
The first half of the fees are due by Wednesday, October 1, 2014
Final payment of the fees are due by February 26, 2015
As we have a small troop, I don't expect to completely fill our slots from our troop. I have begun reaching out to local troops for interest. If we can't fill these slots locally, we can go through a Seabase matching program that seeks to place single scouts or small groups to fill vacant spots. This is a little less controllable but may be an option in a pinch. This will be a once in a lifetime experience for the Scouts and a unmatched opportunity.
If interested, Please call me Scott Schorr 770 843 9972, or email schorrs@bellsouth.net
If financing is an issue, the program does offer financial assistance for qualified scouts.
