We are named SSS YORKSHIRE both for our sponsor as well as for the famous clipper ship Yorkshire.

We meet Monday evenings in April through September from 1900 - 2100 hours (7:00 - 9:00 p.m.) at the Emigsville Sea Scout Base, 3591 Liverpool Turnpike, Emigsville, PA.  For directions and map to Sea Base Emigsville, click here.

The first Monday meeting of the month is generally a Quarterdeck meeting for the youth officers and a Parents' Committee meeting for the parents.  The remaining Monday meetings each month are generally special programs or theme oriented.  See our Activities Calendar for current details.

We warmly welcome prospective new members who are age 14 and have completed the 8th grade through age 21.  We are a co-ed group, with male and female adult advisors.  Prior Scouting experience is not required.

We strive to conduct all our programs in accordance with the programs and policies of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America and the BSA Guide to Safe Scouting.

We are a very active group that goes out and does things.  We don't sit and talk - we do it.

Regular meetings may consist of seamanship and/or Scouting skills practice.

Special activities include regattas, tours, and special events.

We have access to one 12' Whitehall rowing boat, one Vanguard 470 racing sloop, one 18' Laguna Windrose sloop, a 19' Chrysler Buccaneer, a 34' Silverton twin-engine flybridge cruiser, a 43' Mason ketch, and a 46' Morgan ketch.

As Sea Scouts, we subscribe to the Sea Promise, the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law.

As of 31 March 2003 we met our interim goal to qualify as a Standard Sea Scout Unit.  On 2 April 2005 we met our goal of becoming a Regional Standard Ship by earning the Northeast Regional Commodore's Award of Excellence.  Now our goal is to qualify as a Sea Scout National Flagship.
