A primary requirement for the creation of a Sea Scout group (called a ship and comparable to a land-based troop) is to be chartered by an existing organization. The Arkansas River Coalition (ARC) was proud to be the original chartering organization and continues to support the Sea Scout ship called "Convergence." The ship was originally chartered in April, 2021 and is now entering its third year. See the ship's FaceBook page for photos of activities over the past two years  

The Arkansas River Coalition Board of Directors voted in March, 2021 to charter a Sea Scout ship ("ship" is the Sea Scout equivalent of "troop" in BSA parlance.) The newest member of the ARC BoD, Jon Marr, is the "Skipper" of this ship and Jamie Mills is the contact person for the ship at the Quivira Office. Sea Scouts is open to youth ages 14-20. Our ship focuses on building youth leadership skills, water safety skills, and assisting the ARC with river conservation efforts and events. See the details on the Facebook page HERE
