Foreign Relations
The Gryphon and International Diplomacy

The summer of 2004 has been an enjoyable adventure for the Gryphon with other Sea Scouts from around the world.  So far, no countries have broken diplomatic relations with the United States.

The British Invasion    
The Gryphon has had the great fortune of visiting with British Sea Scouts at the Koch Cup and hosting another Sea Scout from the United Kingdom before his SEAL course on the Compass Rose.
