WHY ARE SEA SCOUT UNIFORMS SO MODEST COMPARED TO BOY SCOUT UNIFORMS?
Sea Scout uniforms are based on the traditional uniforms of the sea services, in particular the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard. Those services use very basic uniforms, believing that “less is more”, compared to the U.S. Army and the Boy Scouts who tend to provide some insignia recognition for every single accomplishment.
