What our students say?
Aviynesh Kumar
I am truly grateful for this opportunity. As a Sea Scout and Troop Leader of SEAL30 working towards my King Scout Award, this sailing experience has greatly strengthened my leadership, practical skills and abilities as a competent crew. I am especially thankful to the Korean Association in Malaysia for their generous support. With what I’ve learned, I’m better equipped to guide, teach and inspire my troop in sailing.
Mirsha Kumar
I am truly grateful for this opportunity and the journey it has given me. As a Sea Scout and Rover Scout under Sea Fox, sailing has taught me resilience, teamwork and trust in both myself and the crew while pushing me beyond my comfort zone. I’m especially thankful to the Korean Association in Malaysia for supporting the last two sessions. I now look forward to passing on these skills to new aspirants and continuing to inspire others through my passion for sailing.
Zoe Ng Yun Rou
As a Sea Fox Rover from Malaysia, I am truly grateful to have joined this competent sailing crew training. Throughout the sessions, I gained valuable hands-on experience—from learning boat parts and basic knots like bowline, to handling sails, tacking, simple navigation, and working as a team on board.
Our first lesson was especially memorable, as we faced engine issues and heavy rain, which taught me resilience and teamwork. Each session was a meaningful learning journey and I gradually became more confident in managing different roles and responsibilities while sailing.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Korean Association in Malaysia for their support. This experience has been both enjoyable and empowering, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity.
Young Mariners Sponsorship Program
Sponsor a young sailor, shape a future.
This programme gave me an opportunity to learn outside the classroom and develop practical skills that are very important to me as a Sea Scout.
Working together as a crew taught me the importance of cooperation, responsibility and communication. I also learned to be more confident when faced with unfamiliar situations and to keep trying even when something was challenging. These are lessons that I can use not only in sailing and Scouting, but also in my everyday life.
Your sponsorship has helped me grow in confidence and given me greater motivation to continue my journey in Sea Scouting. Thank you for believing in young people like me.
Sailing is one of the skills that makes the Sea Scout experience special to me. During the course, I was able to develop practical knowledge in sailing, navigation and working effectively as part of a crew.
It also taught me that being on the water comes with responsibility — towards the vessel, the people around us and the environment we enjoy. The experience has helped me become more confident and has motivated me to continue developing myself as a Sea Scout and future leader.
Thank you for supporting my learning and giving me an experience that I will carry with me for many years.
I joined Sea Scouting because I enjoy adventure, the sea and learning new skills. This course gave me the chance to experience sailing and navigation in a much more practical way and understand what it really means to work as part of a yacht crew.
I learned that sailing requires teamwork, trust, responsibility and the willingness to keep learning. It also pushed me outside my comfort zone and helped me become more confident in myself. Most importantly, it has encouraged me to continue learning and progressing as a Sea Scout.
I am very grateful to the sponsors who made this opportunity possible for me.
As a Sea Scout, I have always enjoyed the practical side of Scouting, especially sailing and navigation. This opportunity allowed me to move beyond learning about these skills and actually practise them aboard a yacht.
The course taught me to be more disciplined, responsible and aware of the importance of teamwork on the water. It also challenged me to balance my studies, Scouting and personal development. The experience has given me greater confidence and resilience, and encouraged me to continue developing my Sea Scout skills and working towards my future Scouting goals.
I am very grateful that your sponsorship made this experience possible.
