Transatlantic Sea Scouts BSA to Establish a New Sea Scout Community in Arabian Gulf

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 18, 2020 –(PR.com)– The Transatlantic Sea Scouts BSA is announcing the launch of a new community to serve Single-Handed Sea Scouts of the Sea Scouts BSA residing in the Arabian Gulf States. The new community will be known as the Gulf Sea Scouts BSA and it will serve Sea Scouts residing in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

“Single-Handed Sea Scouts in the Arabian Gulf States actively contribute to the mission of the Sea Scouts BSA,” says Michael Walsh, Mate of Programs of the Transatlantic Sea Scouts. “The establishment of the Gulf Sea Scouts BSA will provide these Single-Handed Sea Scouts with a way to stay connected to the pulse of what’s happening in Sea Scouts BSA and the Boy Scouts of America. It also will provide them with a platform to make new friends and Scouting contacts outside of their normal circles.”

Next year, the Gulf Sea Scouts intends to form a new Sea Scout Ship (SSS). The ship will be named in honor of Ahmad ibn Mājid and it will serve Single-Handed Sea Scouts in Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

On June 28, 2020, the Gulf Sea Scouts will be hosting an online open house for adults and youth interested in learning more about SSS Ibn Mājid. Prospective members should email mapathon@seascoutsonline.org to request more information about the event.
