What is United States Power Squadrons (USPS)
Organized in 1914, USPS is a non profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in seamanship, navigation and related subjects.
Our members are boating families who contribute to their communities by promoting safe boat-
ing through education. We enjoy participating with our fellow members on the water and in the classroom. USPS has some 45,000 members organized into 450 squadrons across the country
and in some US territories. USPS is America's largest non-profit boating organization and has
been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions.
What are the activities of USPS
Each squadron's activities involve the three primary objectives of USPS: community service,
continuing education, and enjoying the friendship and camaraderie of our fellow members
What community and civic services does USPS perform
Local squadrons offer boating safety courses on a regular basis to boaters in our communities. These courses are open to the public and there is no age limit for participants. USPS squadrons
have offered these courses for over half a century and have educated more than 3 million boat-
ers to date. Successfully completing a USPS boating safety course meets the educational re-
quirements for boat operation in all states.
In a cooperative program with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, squadron members conduct cour-
tesy Vessel Safety Checks of boats at the request of their owners. To learn more about this pro-
gram, and how to get your boat checked go to marathonpowersquadron.org .
Our members also help the National Ocean Service keep our nautical charts accurate by report-
ing chart corrections, and our local squadrons participate in many other community improve-
ment projects.
What educational courses are available to USPS members
Every squadron offers many carefully planned courses in subjects like Seamanship, Piloting,
Plotting and Position Finding, Celestial Navigation, Cruise Planning, Engine Maintenance, Marine
Electronics, Sailing, and much more. These courses are taught by experienced member instruc-
tors, and members who complete them are recognized. (list of back)
What social activities do members enjoy
Participating both on-the-water and off with fellow members who are skilled in boating is a re-warding and enjoyable experience. On-the-water activities include cruises, rendezvous, sail rac-
es, navigation contests and even fishing derbies. Activities ashore include meetings with marine
programs, parties, dinner-dances, picnics and field trips

These courses are available to the public, but members enjoy substantial discounts making this a top reason for joining USPS.

Advanced Grade Courses Five Advanced Grade courses are offered by USPS. They are designed to be taken in sequence because each builds on skills taught in the previous course.

Navigation is the most advanced navigation course taught by USPS, covering more advanced celestial navigation techniques, emergency navigation, and additional sight reduction techniques.
Elective Courses Six Elective Courses are offered by USPS. They cover separate and independent topics and therefore may be taken in any order according to a person's interests and time.

Engine Maintenance covers the operating principles and basic care and maintenance of outboard and inboard engines, including diesels.
