Keys Blessing

Bless the creatures of the Sea
Bless this person I call me
Bless the Keys you made so grand
Bless the sun that warms the land
Bless the fellowship we feel
as we gather for this meal
Amen

Sea Base, formerly known as Florida National High Adventure Sea Base, is a high adventure program base run by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in the Florida Keys. Its counterparts are the Philmont Scout Ranch in northern New Mexico, the Northern Tier National High Adventure Bases in Ely, Minnesota as well as Manitoba and Ontario in Canada, and The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve near the New River Gorge National Park in southern West Virginia.

The main Sea Base is located in Islamorada, Florida on the end of Lower Matecumbe Key. Other bases include the Brinton Environmental Center located on Summerland Key (which oversees Big Munson Island located 5.5 miles southeast of the center) the Bahamas Sea Base in Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas, and the USVI Sea Base with locations in St. Thomas.

The Florida Sea Base Conference Center has become an alternative training site to the Philmont Training Center and the Summit Bechtel Reserve. Most conferences it hosts are for professionals or national level committees, but it also hosts conferences for outside groups.
