Youth members
A ship's membership follows the main structure as in Venturing Crews. Youth members of a ship are 14 years old (and have completed 8th grade) and are not yet 21. The youth gender makeup of a crew is determined by the Ship Code and Bylaws {authored and approved by the youth members) which may be coed (both males and female), all male, or all female. A ship is lead by the Boatswain and other petty officers.
Petty Officers of a Ship include:
Adult members
The ship's Officers are divided into two branches:
- Program
- Support
- Ship Committee
- Ship Committee Chairman
- Chartered Organization Representative
- Other adult positions usually include a Treasurer and Secretary.
