In 1932 Gil Danz and Cletus Weber decided to expand Boy Scouts Troop 41 so
older Scouts could still continue to enjoy Scouting after Boy Scouts.
They created the Sea Scout Ship #541, the Bay Verte.
Gil Danz was the first skipper and later became committee chairman.
He held this position until his death in October of 1986.
Cletus Weber took over when Gil Danz retired as skipper.
Cletus Weber served for over twenty-five years, the longest running skipper.
He served as skipper until his death in July of 1983.
Then Pat Gallagher took over as skipper. Pat served for over a
year until Dave Andreas took over. Dave served until 1992 when the current
skipper, Marty Briggs accepted the position. With the changing times and
leadership, young women were able to join the unit for the first time in
1992. Over the years the program has revolved around teaching young adults
the values of scouting through safe and proper seamanship.
