In the Introduction I speak about attending the ceremony held at Seafarers YC for the associated Sea Scout Ship 1959 “Committment” on their being named top national Sea Scout Ship for 2021, an award given out since the 1920’s, and never before won by a Sea Scout Ship in Maryland, and only in their third year of operations! Big Ups to the ship, the kids, the parents, the Seafarers YC and Foundation, and most importantly, former guest and friend of the Show Skipper Derrick Cogburn, who was inspired to start the ship after attending Adult Scouting Wood Badge training in 2017 or thereabouts.
