The Sea Scout Ship Gryphon is very proud of our Eagle and Quartermaster Sea Scouts. In our Ship's history, we have had seven Gryphon Quartermasters and at least seven Eagle Scouts, two of whom earned their Eagles through the Gryphon. Many of the Gryphon's adult volunteers are also Quartermasters. |

"Along the course o' life ye must go; fair course or foul is up to yerself alone. Old Davy saw the sailin' orders an' grand they be. He saw the true course, lad, an' the wheel to keep ye on it. An' tucked back o' it all, ye'll find yer anchor, ready to heave when the sea o' life commences to roll an' the star in the North lies deep behind the black o' storm clouds. Sail ye must, lad, so why not sail as skipper? Over yer heart will be the Badge o' Quartermaster, the likes o' which old Davy did just describe." "Davy Shellback," from The Sea Scout Manual, Sixth Edition, 1945. |
