Join us this week as we chat with Tamara Sokolov and Simran Phojanakong from the San Francisco Sea Scouts about the incredible program shaping lives on the water. Tamara is the executive director and has been involved with the Sea Scouts for nearly 30 years, and Simran is the boatswain, aka youth president.
