Experience a sailor’s life on the Elissa
 Girl
Scouts can experience “a sailor’s life from
the days of old,” in a special overnight adventure
aboard the U.S.S. Elissa.
After a tour of the Elissa and a video presentation,
the overnight Girl Scout crew learns some hands-on sailing
skills. Girls will help set one of Elissa’s huge
staysails, and they work with the ship’s volunteer
crew to master rope craft and seagoing knots. During
the night, girls will follow one of the oldest traditions
of the sea–keeping watch over the Elissa and Galveston
Harbor.
