IRVING, Texas - The National Sea Scout Committee has directed the Web Site Task Force to design and develop a new official web site for the U.S. Sea Scout Community.  The new web site will utilize the latest in onlnne technology to deliver useful and timely information to Sea Scouts, leaders, parents, and local council professionals.

The new website will model the look and feel of the official BSA web site, www.scouting.org, while retaining a distinct Sea Scouts, BSA image and functionality.  Users will notice new features like central calendaring for Sea Scout events and a useful live search feature that makes finding information on the site easy and hassle-free.

The beta version of the new site will be introduced to the publi on November 1, 2011 at www.newseascout.org.  Both the existing and new beta sites will be maintained concurrently until the beta testing is complete.  Eventually the new site will be accessed solely through www.seascout.org.
