Galveston Bay Area Sea Experience (BASE) is an intensive high-adventure sailing & saltwater experience

for individuals, patrols, or Venture crews that you will remember for years to come.  You will learn small-boat sailing and earn your BSA Small Boat Handler Award, learn navigation and marlinspike seamanship; you will bask while cruising on 30’+ sloops; visit historic ports of call; enjoy sleeping on board in air-conditioned comfort and thrill to the catch of deep sea-fishing.

Don't miss your chance to set sail for the adventure of a lifetime. Space is limited  so send in your application and deposit to the Council Office soon. 

Call (409) 744-5206 (Bay Area Council) or email gbase@ship468.org for more information.
