Sea Scout Ship Nautilus (461) was chartered on 1 October 2012 and is sponsored by the Zion Mennonite Church of Souderton, PA. We are part of the General Nash District of the Cradle of Liberty County, Boy Scouts of America. Ship 461 is also part of the Delaware Valley Flotilla, which is comprised of Sea Scout Ships from Southeastern Pennsylvania, Central and South New Jersey, and Delaware. The Dela
ware Valley Flotilla is one of five Flotillas that comprise the Northeast Region of the Boy Scouts of America. Ship 461 is sponsored by the Zion Mennonite Church, located at 149 East Cherry Lane in Souderton, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. We are northwest of the City of Philadelphia in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Our sponsor, Zion Mennonite Church, has sponsored a Boy Scout Troop beginning in 1936 and has sponsored our sister unit, Boy Scout Troop 461, continuously since 1956. In the past, Zion Mennonite Church has sponsored a Cub Scout Pack as well as an Explorer Post. Our sponsor provides us with a place to meet and with a place to store some of our equipment. Sea Scouts enjoy a number of traditional Scouting activities, including camping and hiking, but also participate in maritime activities, such as sailing, motor boating, canoeing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and other aquatic activities.
