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.

Famous quotes containing the words deep, sea and/or scouts:
“How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
And every loved spot which my infancy knew,”
—Samuel Woodworth (1788–1842)
“When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o’erflow?
If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad,
Threatening the welkin with his big-swollen face?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
When I see o’er the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.
And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with
their goods;
And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
armed men.”
—Bertrans De Born (fl. 12th century)
