Morphology
The noun is directly compositional: 'sea' specifies the domain (maritime/water) of a 'scout', so the overall meaning is a scout involved in boating or water-based activities. This modifier+noun pattern is transparent and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows 'sea' and 'scout' can readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Sea Scout comes from Scouts who work on the sea; they are young scouts who learn sailing, navigation and other water skills. That's why the name means a scout who focuses on boating.
