Sea Scouting had its beginning at a campfire in [[England]] when Robert Baden-Powell voiced the hope that older Scouts would be interested in learning about boat management and seamanship. He stressed the need for young men to prepare themselves for service on their country's ships. Sea Scouting was introduced by Robert Baden-Powell with the assistance of his brother, [[Warington Baden-Powell]], K.C., an [[Admiralty]] lawyer, sailor, and inventor of [[canoe]] sailing. Lord Baden-Powell personally held a Scout camp at [[Buckler's Hard, Hampshire]] in August 1908 which marked the start of Sea Scouts, though they were not officially named such until 1912. Warington Baden-Powell wrote the handbook ''Sea Scouting and Seamanship for Boys'' in [[1910]] with a foreword by Robert Baden-Powell. It was enthusiastically received by the young men of Britain and soon found its way to the rest of the world. Warington Baden-Powell is also the author of ''Canoe Travelling: Log of a Cruise on the Baltic, and Practical Hints on Building and Fitting Canoes'' London, Smith, Elder, [[1871]]. | Sea Scouting had its beginning at a campfire in [[England]] when Robert Baden-Powell voiced the hope that older Scouts would be interested in learning about boat management and seamanship.

History
[1]Robert Baden-Powell grew up being constantly reminded of his family's naval connections. His maternal grandfather was Admiral William Smyth. In 1872, when he was 15, Robert Baden-Powell accompanied his brothers on a cross-country expedition by collapsible canoe. They slept in tents and cooked their meals over open fires. Little wonder then that B-P was to write later on in his life that he started his Scouting as a Sea Scout.
Sea Scouting had its beginning at a campfire in England when Robert Baden-Powell voiced the hope that older Scouts would be interested in learning about boat management and seamanship. He stressed the need for young men to prepare themselves for service on their country's ships. Sea Scouting was introduced by Robert Baden-Powell with the assistance of his brother, Warington Baden-Powell, K.C., an Admiralty lawyer, sailor, and inventor of canoe sailing. Lord Baden-Powell personally held a Scout camp at Buckler's Hard, Hampshire in August 1908 which marked the start of Sea Scouts, though they were not officially named such until 1912. Warington Baden-Powell wrote the handbook Sea Scouting and Seamanship for Boys in 1910 with a foreword by Robert Baden-Powell. It was enthusiastically received by the young men of Britain and soon found its way to the rest of the world. Warington Baden-Powell is also the author of Canoe Travelling: Log of a Cruise on the Baltic, and Practical Hints on Building and Fitting Canoes London, Smith, Elder, 1871.
