INTRODUCE YOUTH, PARENTS AND THE PUBLIC TO NAUSET SEA SCOUT SHIP AND EXPLORER CLUB 72   
Nauset Sea Scout Ship (ages 14-20) and Explorer Club 72 (ages 11-13) are announcing an exciting opportunity for high school and middle school youth, parents and the public to attend an open house at the clubhouse “landship” located at 46 Beach Road (rear) in Orleans, on Sunday May 1st from 104. Several of the organization’s vessels will be available to board at the open house.  They include two historic 26’ Race Point surf rescue pulling boats, a Herreshoff America 18’catboat, a 17’ Aquasport center console powerboat and a 23’ O’Day sloop.  Hands-on activities such as sail handling, navigating, knot tying, boating safety, and oar handling will be on-going. Free hot dogs and beverages will be provided. Event takes place rain or shine. 

Members of these two groups get hands-on boating and water safety skills, and build life skills, while exploring local marine resources and maritime career opportunities. In addition to learning leadership, seamanship, and fellowship, scouts and explorers visit various organizations, and meet with craftsmen and experts to learn about the diversity of maritime industries and careers that exist on Cape Cod. These include boatbuilding, marine rescue and survival, marine science and technology, commercial and sport fishing and maritime history. Other opportunities include camping, seal watching, snorkeling, and sailing on board larger vessels such as tall ships.
