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.

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.
