These lesson plans were created primarily for the Houston area Sea Scout Academy. However, I hope that they are also useful for other Sea Scout situations and venues.
Lesson plans and presentations will be added as they are completed. It will take a while to get them all here. They may change as I find better ways to convey the lesson.
When you download the file, it includes codes. The codes APP, ORD, ABL and QM mean Apprentice, Ordinary, Able and Quartermaster, respectively. The number is the number of the requirement. The year at the end of the file is the date of the manual. There are a few miscellaneous items as well.
The author expects everyone using the lesson plans to modify them to fit your audience and your style. There are also other resources in the DVD with the Sea Scout Manual, and on www.seascout.org.
Some lessons have an accompanying presentation. Several will not, usually because it is my judgment that it is not an appropriate aid to teaching that topic.
I invite your comments on these lesson plans, so we can have continuous improvement. If you are aware of a better example, or a great illustration that is not in them, please send them to me for inclusion. Especially, if I miss applying a change from the Sea Scout Manual, Guide to Safe Scouting, or a Coast Guard publication, please contact me so we can keep these current and accurate.
