2026 Sea Scout Safety at Sea Gam

Ahoy! It's that time of year again!

Patriots' Path Council and the Liberty Nautical Education Center are pleased to announce the annual Safety at Sea Training Weekend at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York. This unique event is conducted jointly with the United States Coast Guard, United States Power Squadrons, and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

This hands-on training program provides youth and adult participants with valuable instruction and practical experience in maritime safety procedures and emergency preparedness. Participants will develop essential skills to respond effectively to situations that may be encountered while underway or at sea.

The event will begin on Friday evening for those ships who wish to arrive early because of travel restrictions, and extend into Sunday morning, again for those ships who need to stay over due to distance. Camping facilities will also be available to enable other scout programs to participate. The main events will be 0800-1700 on Saturday, October 3, 2026. Youth participants must be registered members of Scouting America.

See registration packet for complete participation, identification and docking requirements.
