The Sea Scouts BSA National Flagship program was created in conjunction with the Boat Owners Association of the United States. The National Flagship is presented in recognition of excellence in program quality, youth achievement, and adult commitment.
The National Flagship is recognized by receipt of the National Flagship Trophy, a National Flagship Flag emblazoned with four national stars, and the designated shoulder patch for members of the unit. The National Flagship is accompanied by the National Flagship Fleet which recognizes runners-up for the award.
