Sea Scouting is a branch of Scouting, not a separate organisation. It is based on the same fundamental Scouting Aims & Methods. Sea Scouts follow the core balanced programme for their section but then add a nautical twist to the programme and activities. Many Troops and Explorer Units meet more than once a week in the summer period and the additional meetings are used to develop nautical skills and seamanship training. It is not training for the Navy or the Merchant Navy careers, although Sea Scout training can be very useful for young people who are so interested.

Sea Scouts start with the Scout section as part of a Sea Scout Group, or as a Sea Scout Patrol in a "standard" Group. Explorer Sea Scouts can be found in Units directly linked through partnership agreements to Sea Scout Groups, water activity centres or as part of other District based units. Cub Scouts and Beaver Scouts in a Sea Scout Group follow the same programme as all other Cubs/Beavers albeit with the likelihood of some water based activities being provided by the Scout section.
