As a first stop for more resources (anchors, flags, engines and drives, tides summary & local hazzards, Beaufort Scale etc) go to the Cubs Boatsman Badge page, that has a lot of resources that are equally useful for Scouts or Ventures.

Our Adventure Skills Sailing page also has relevant resources: http://www.malahideseascouts.ie/leader-resources-training/badgeworkskills-resources/sailing/ ‎
