Long Cruise Badge

Level:Sea Scouts, and Scouters

The Long Cruise badge may be earned by both youth and adults registered in Sea Scouting. A Sea Scout is required to earn a Long Cruise badge as a requirement for the Able rank.

Requirements
The Long Cruise badge may be earned by both youth and adults registered in Sea Scouts. Once the individual has completed the requirements that follow, the Skipper submits an advancement report to the Boy Scout local council service center where the badges can be secured. It is recommended that all Sea Scouts and adult leaders qualifying for the Long Cruise Badge maintain a log of their cruising experiences. This log will be useful for Scout advancement, U.S. Coast Guard licensing, US Sailing certification, and chartering.

A Sea Scout must be Ordinary rank before he or she can start recording cruising time for the Long Cruise badge. The Sea Scout must cruise for two weeks on any vessel or boat provided by the local council or the ship, or their own vessel when authorized by an adult leader in that Sea Scout ship. Each additional long cruise earned is marked by a red arc above the badge, until five such cruises have been completed. Then a single white arc replaces them above the badge.

In the event that it is not possible to make a two-week cruise, a series of weekend or overnight cruises on any boat or ship may be made, provided that the total number equals 14 days. (Note: An overnight cruise lasts two days; a weekend cruise starting on Friday and ending on Sunday will be counted as three days.)

There are no requirements regarding distance and number of miles. The Long Cruise badge is an achievement, not a badge of rank; therefore, an adult leader may qualify for the badge without qualifying for Ordinary rank.

THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED WITH BEACH CLEAN UP!

07/11/2018

Blue-green algae growth forces state to issue another emergency order.

Seven counties, including Palm Beach County, were named in a sweeping emergency order issued Monday that increases monitoring of blue-green algae and cuts red tape that could delay mitigation of its harmful spread.

It’s the second emergency order issued by Gov. Rick Scott in two weeks regarding the cyanobacteria, and follows an unusual 10 p.m. Sunday announcement by the Army Corps that put a lid on Lake Okeechobee discharges while engineers search for other ways to reduce lake water levels.

Included with Monday’s order are demands for the state Department of Health to increase community outreach, including adding signs warning of algae, and a mandate for Florida’s official tourism group to step up communication with local businesses.

Scott issued the order after touring areas on the Caloosahatchee River infected by the vibrant green goo. Counties covered by the order, which also include Martin, St. Lucie, Lee, Glades, Hendry and Okeechobee, already are seeing the algae spread or may be at risk.

Update: We will curtailing all Sea Scout water activities on or in the St Lucie River, Indian River Lagoon and Ft Perice Inlet with the exception of activities planned for the True Love sailboat until farther notice. This is to ensure the health and well-being of our Sea Scouts and adult leadership. All Sea Scout water activities will be planned for and conducted offshore outside of the inlet(s) until inland waterways are deemed safe based the finds and test results of the monioring authorities.

We will monitor the Florida Department of Health and local authorities and follow all recommendations and guidelines.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this period when we are confronted with this health hazard.
