In 1934, Mr. Frank Edward Anson Blackwood Sewell instituted Sea Scout movement in Singapore with the First Singapore Sea Scout Troop, an ‘open’ troop that welcomed boys from all schools. As Scoutmaster, Mr. Sewell brought to Singapore Scouting a youth programme with focus on boating and water-based activities. Sea Scouting is now a branch of the Singapore Scout Association offering a youth programme with a system of Progress Badges and Proficiency Badges with considerable emphasis on water activities.
Southernwaves Scouts; one of the Sea Scouting groups based in Singapore is dedicated to provide youths with opportunities for leadership development to grow their full physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual capabilities as individuals and as members of society, and thus contribute to the betterment of this world.

Sea Scouts are recognized and rewarded for the things they accomplish. Scouts are motivated to learn valuable certifications in boating safety, lifesaving, as well as advance in rank from Apprentice to Quartermaster.
