- The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was established
by Congress in June, 1939, to assist the Coast Guard in promoting
boating safety. It is composed of nearly 35,000 members from all walks
of life who are drawn together by their love of the water and a
willingness to serve other boaters. Its members receive special
training so that they may be a functional part of Team Coast Guard.
- Auxiliarists assist the Coast Guard in
non-law-enforcement programs such as public education, safety patrols,
search and rescue, marine environmental protection, and Coast Guard
Academy introduction programs for youth. Auxiliary members volunteer
approximately two million hours annually to benefit other boaters and
their families.
For Your Information:A
certificate from a Coast Guard Auxiliary safe boating class may
decrease the cost of your boating insurance.
