The Deep Sea Scouts were an organisation enabling young people serving on British ships to participate in Scouting activities. It was formed in 1928, and was replaced by the Deep Sea Scout Fellowship in the 1990s as numbers dwindled. As Scouting matured, along with its initial members, demands were made for additions to the organisation which would enable a continuing participation within the Movement. One such addition were the Deep Sea Scouts, which came to be in 1928. ==Aims and purpose== As Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, noted in a letter to the fledgling group, "''Damn rules! I want a jolly brotherhood through which I can get in touch with pals of my own or other ships or at ports of call — especially those pals who have the same Scouty ideas as I have ...''". This was the purpose of the Deep Sea Scouts. The original aims of the Deep Sea Scouts were: * To enable Scouts afloat to get in touch with their brother/sister Scouts in ports throughout the world. * To afford them the opportunity for continuing their Scouting activities in their sea-going profession. * To provide an opportunity to hike and camp as Scouts, when on leave at home or abroad. * To be of service to all, as the opportunity offers, particularly by instructing Cubs or Scouts, when in ports of call. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deep Sea Scouts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
