Starting summer 2023, Pamlico Sea Base will “set sail” by re-launching its high adventure sailing program, rebranded the “Blackbeard Sailing Expedition”, or BSX for short.
Sailing has always been a core competency of the East Carolina Council’s Sea Base, because the council’s camp is ideally situated in Eastern NC and on some of the most pristine waterways of the Middle Atlantic Coast and inner banks. Pamlico Sea Base and its unique waterfront access offers exceptional scouting high adventure opportunities that are fun, educational, and designed to develop leadership skills while exploring the world renown rivers and coastal regions of North Carolina.
BSX is a six-day inner-banks sailing adventure on a 30-foot Morgan Sloop, and other smaller camp vessels. Crews will ply the same waterways that indigenous peoples lived, hunted, and fished for centuries and the infamous pirate Blackbeard took sanctuary in when he wasn’t out robbing and plundering on the high seas. The sail will take us back in time and allow all to take in the beauty and serenity of this special place on earth. Come sail with us. Aaarrgg!
