Astoria Sea Scouts Ship 635, Astoria, OR (2026)

For over 100 years Sea Scouting has promoted better citizenship and improved members’ boating skills through instruction and practice in water safety, boating skills, outdoor, social, service experiences, and knowledge of our maritime heritage. Sea Scout units– called ships- are established all across the country on oceans, bays, rivers, and lakes. They provide limitless opportunities and exciting

challenges that you won’t ﬁnd anywhere else. Sea Scouts is a place to grow and learn, ﬁnd adventure, and build long lasting friendships.

From the Crows Nest it was overheard that a freshly caught salmon canned with care, will last 20 years or longer. Which got us to wonder if anybody knows anything about a 'can of beans?

. I ❤️ Astoria .
Ahoy Shipmates, today was a community effort. The owner of Pho Mekha Astoria was so impressed with our teamwork he spent the whole morning pitching in himself. 🫡
Even some Job Corp students doing work base aboard the SALVAGE CHIEF LSM 380 got in on the action. Long then took us to his restaurant where his wonderful mother made sure we did not leave hungry. It was a SPECTACULAR day on the working waterfront.

Ahoy Shipmates, please accept our apologies, the ship is "stuck in the mud" and the skippers shoulder needs replaced.. new titanium parts and such. We wish him luck under the knife. The dive class is still in the works, a gathering at Ft George? Some Saturday befor the end of April.". 🫡 hope everyone had a good spring break, enjoy the rest of the school year and remember to always drink plenty of water💧
