Ship 3500, “Rock of Ages”, what we do…

If you are ready to get outside and have some real fun, then “Rock of Ages” is for you.  The main goal of all our activities on (sailing, white water rafting), in (SUP’ing, kayaking, snorkeling), and under (Scuba) the water, is to have fun through new experiences.  The cool part about these experiences is that you will be learning new life skills and problem solving abilities while doing them.  You will push yourselves, set new limits, and feel your confidence grow every week.

As a Scout in Ship 3500, you decide, as a group, our agenda and goals.  Together, we will work to achieve them.

If you are ready to learn and grow, come join us, come “live the adventure.”

Sailboat Racing

With both International and Olympic class fleets, you will be sailing some of the finest boats every designed.

The International Etchells Class is one of our fleets

Navigation

Chart a course and manage all the variables to accomplish it.

Wind direction, charts, compass heading, you will learn it all.

Safety at Sea

Safety is always the primary concern at sea.

Fire, man-overboard, offering First-Aid to others, this is the critical aspect of all maritime activities.

SCUBA

Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water, it's time to take a look.

Life below the surface is fascinating, you'll experience it first hand.

Focus on education, both during and after the Sea Scouts

A common goal of all Adult Leaders of Ship 3500 is the advancement of our Scouts.  Regarding education, we believe that if we are to teach you new skills, preparing you to take the next steps both education-wise and into adulthood, then we should do all we can to help you achieve this step.

Mr. Riddell, your Ship’s Committee Chair, has spent the last eight years working with students, helping them choose colleges and securing scholarships.  Through College Prep Coach, he coaches his students to realize their individual path, then helps them achieve it.  Mr. Riddell is bringing his program to Ship 3500 and will be helping any and all Scouts who would like, choose the next step.

As far as we know, we are the only Ship in the country, maybe the world, with their own college placement program, and we are very proud of this.

What Scouts Say…

Having spent lots of time on the water with my dad, sailing and water skiing, I am excited to learn and advance through the Sea Scouts ranks.

Kenzie, XCP

We have worked hard to essentially duplicate the water sport activities programs which I had growing up and we are very excited to share these experiences with the next generation!

Mr. Riddell

The sport of sailing has offered me adventure and opportunities I would not have otherwise had and I am looking forward to teaching today’s youth everything the sport has given me.

Skipper Felice, Tiller and Kites
