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
