All members have the opportunity to receive awards based on
the skills they master. Sea Scouts have a 4-step advancement system that
begins at the Apprentice level and
rises to Quartermaster Award. Boys registered in the Boy Scout Troop
(a junior adjunct to the Ship) also work on Boy Scout advancement. That
rises from Tenderfoot to Eagle Scout.
Members of Ship 272 have earned both highly distinguished
awards. In fact , we have produced more Quartermasters than any other Sea
Scout unit in New York City!
