The Deep Sea Scouts were an organisation enabling young people serving on British ships to participate in Scouting activities. It was formed in 1928, and was replaced by the Deep Sea Scout Fellowship in the 1990s as numbers dwindled.
As Scouting matured, along with its initial members, demands were made for additions to the organisation which would enable a continuing participation within the Movement.
One such addition were the Deep Sea Scouts, which came to be in 1928.

“We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though we may call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all.”

“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“The medieval town, with frieze
Of boy scouts from Nagoya?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
