Submitted by: James A Fox on 1/12/2013-
The Scout Award Committee announces that they now are presenting the Quartermaster Award to Sea Scout who has been awarded the Quartermaster Rank. We now have a patch and certificate approved by the Scouting National Director of Sea Scouts, BSA. The patch is now in the National Store Keeper inventory and will cost $2.00 each. Paul Orstad, Past ENRD will be the Point of Contact (POC) for the Certificate. He is going to be provided by the National Director office a list of Current Sea Scout Ships and locations. That will allow him to see how they can be interfaced with the USSVI Bases. If the closest Base does not to participate then all they need to is let us know and we'll send the certificate and patch with a cover letter to the recipient if requested by recipient Ship’s “Bridge of Honor” committee.

The National Director will be seen out a message and a sample copy of the certificate and patch to each Ship skipper and Regional Commodore. Then they will contact Paul Orstad and he will contact the closest Base Cdr to see if they want to participate like we are doing the Eagle Scout program. There are normally approximately 35 to 40 Quartermaster per year. If you have any questions concerning the new program send Paul Orstad an email at hogan343@aol.com or you can call him at (1-860-334-6457) and he will try to answer any questions you have. Groton Base is a sponsor of a Sea Scout Ship Sea dragon 584.
