The SAI Sea Scout emblem, used up until 2004.

Sea Scouting (Template:Lang-ga) has existed in Scouting Ireland and its predecessor associations since 1912. Sea Scout Groups are members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) through their membership of Scouting Ireland. Sea Scouting provides Scout training with and through water-borne activities.

1976 The “BP 18” was designed as the SAI standard Sea Scout vessel for rowing and sailing.

1980s CBSI decided not to re-establish Sea Scouting, but introduced a new water activities programme which could be used within any Scout Troop. SAI Sea Scouting continued to evolve.

1980 CBSI formed the National Water Activities Centre and decided on the Dutch Lelievlet as the standard rowing and sailing boat.

2002 SAI Sea Scouting Renewed Approach to Programme (RAP) completed.

2004 Merger of CSI and SAI to form Scouting Ireland.

2004 – 2010 one Programme development as a Renewed Approach to Programme (RAP) as well the need to interoperate within the new (to CSI) Sea Scout programme brought in from the SAI forced a renewed look at how the NWAC and the Sea Scouts approached Water Activities and the Sea Scouting.

The modern Sea Scout emblem of Groups in Scouting Ireland.

Following the merger in 2004 of Scouting Ireland S.A.I. and Scouting Ireland (CSI), to form Scouting Ireland, a lengthy programme review process commenced to review every aspect of youth programme delivered by Scouting Ireland. As a result of this process, it was decided that youth members should experience one youth programme from age 6 to age 21. As a result, Sea Scout Groups will now deliver a Sea Scout programme to all their youth members, in all age ranges. This programme is scheduled to be rolled out starting in April 2010.
