"As a Sea Scout,
I promise to do my best to guard against water accidents, to know the location and proper use of the lifesaving devices on every boat I board, to be prepared to render aid to those in need, and, to seek to preserve the motto of the sea, 'women and children first.'"
-Sea Scout Motto
