Partner with Sea Base High Adventure and Scouting America to restore Florida’s Coral Reef, the third largest reef tract in the world. Your support of this long-term vision will help revive North America’s only living coral reef and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders and Citizen Scientists.
Florida’s Coral Reef—the only barrier reef in North America and the third largest in the world—is in grave danger. Healthy coral cover has declined by 90 percent in the last 40 years, per NOAA’s Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Many of the corals that make up the beautiful and habitable structures of our reefs are slow-growing species and therefore cannot keep up naturally with this rate of decline.
But there’s hope! Through the Sea Base Coral Restoration Program, Scouts are leading the charge to restore and protect this vital environment.

At Sea Base, Scouts discover adventure in a way few ever experience—on the open ocean, among coral reefs, and across the islands of the Florida Keys. Your generosity helps keep the base safe, accessible, and ready to deliver meaningful Scouting experiences that build capable, confident, and resilient young leaders.
For many Scouts, the call of the ocean sparks a sense of adventure like no other—hoisting sails, scuba diving into coral reefs, or camping and fishing on a rustic barrier island. At Florida Sea Base, these dreams become reality for nearly 16,000 participants annually, creating an experience that lasts a lifetime.
Through the Sea Base Campership Fund, you make these transformative experiences possible. Each campership opens the door for a Scout to experience all Florida Sea Base has to offer.
