Current Events & News Students Learn Watersports at Maritime Adventures This summer 40 students—many of whom had neverparticipated in any kind of watersports—experienced the thrill of sailing, windsurfing, paddle boarding and canoeing at Scituate’s new Maritime Center. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of the Scituate Recreation Department, the Scituate Harbormaster, generous local businesses and caring community volunteers. Thank you for helping to bring this wonderful program to special needs children in our community!

Our 4th Annual Golf Tournament, Dinner & Silent Auction was held on Friday June 25th, 2010 at Widow's Walk Golf Course and Scituate Country Club. Thanks to our sponsors, players, donators and bidders, we raised over $26,000 that will be used to provide programs and resources for our community's children, parents and teachers. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this possible; we are very grateful for your support and generosity. Please note: The CORSE Gala and Auction will be held on Saturday October 2 at the Scituate Country Club. We switched seasons for the two events to better accommodate our members!
