Gulfport Youth Sailing conducted three-week class in basic sailing in June for Gulfport children from age 8 to 15. There was no charge for this class, and it filled to 34 youth early. This annual community service is made possible because the members of Sea Scout Ship 915 which GYS sponsors take charge of the activities on the water and teach the students how to handle a small sailboat and how to capture the wind and sail the boat around a designated course. The Sea Scouts donated a total of 1,820 community service hours to staff this program. These hours were recorded to the Florida Bright Futures requirement for each scout which will help the scouts financially when they seek a college degree. Many of the Sea Scouts also participated in community service on Sundays when they preformed community service as a group. Because the activities were planned, organized, and lead by two older scouts to satisfy the BSA requirements for the highest rank of scouting, that of Sea Scout Quartermaster. The Gulfport Sea Scout Group recruited a record number of young men and women in 2019 and grew their Ship to be recognized as the largest Ship in Florida. The Scouts accepted the donation of 3 large sailboats in 2019. They then worked to refinish the hulls, decks, and woodwork. In some cases, the boats needed electrical work. One boat needed engine work. The scouts worked under the direction of the adult advisers to do what was needed to make each boat ready to re-sell. This part of the program teaches the young men and women life skills how to use tools safely, and it funds their cruises on their large boats to races and snorkeling trips in the Florida Keys. The Scout group Took two cruises to Key West, the Dry Tortugas and two short cruises. To do this they had to plan the menu, stock the boats, Read the nautical charts and plan the course, arrange for docking space at marinas, and finally navigate and sail the boats. Sailing teaches and polishes the skill of leadership. When two youth get on a sailboat one of them needs to take the tiller and steer the boat. The other must adjust the centerboard and the sails. If the scout on the tiller doe does not give instruction (orders) the boat will not sail in a desired direction and leadership skill is learned quickly. When the scouts cruise and dive they learn about the ecology of the oceans and the interdependency of the plants, the fish, and the coral. They learn the reason to Leave no trace. In February, the Gulfport youth sailors elected to register with the Florida Frontiersmen to camp at the Alafia River historical encampment. They dressed in pre 1860 clothing with no zippers, Velcro, or pockets. They watched as homemade axes were thrown, black powder rifles were loaded and shot and bows and arrows were made. With no cellphones, no web sites no flashlights or electricity, life was much simpler, in some ways more complex and much more work.
