Link requires a sub, which I didn’t want to do, so can’t answer your question.

Like the Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts there are what’s called Sea Scouts.

A sailor under the age of 18.

I joined the Royal Australian Navy just before my 16th birthday. Boys were taken on for officer training at that age until 1980, while boys of 15 were still being brought in as recruits for enlisted ranks until 1986.

Going back to the 1950s, officers began their training at 13.

Child sailors? Did a pedophile created this program? It seems like it.

That said, I bet it was planned to expose kids to the sea and maybe a career in the navy.
