Recognizing the uniqueness of the on-the-water leadership required in the Sea Scout program, the Seabadge training conference was conceived to:
To improve the understanding of leadership, management, and motivation among selected experienced Sea Scout adult volunteer leaders.
To provide management, leadership, and presentation skills and tools to these leaders so that they may use them and share them with others in their day-to-day activities and through leading a Seabadge conference.
To use this understanding and these skills and tools to improve and expand both the quality and quantity of the Sea Scout program as a way to reach the Aims of Scouting.
The Seabadge training conference consists of a comprehensive weekend of training and instruction followed by a a set of measurable goals to be completed by the participant so as to demonstrate improve the participants' council/ship Sea Scout program.
