Why Join?

Organized in 1914, USPS is America’s largest non-profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in boat handling, navigation and related subjects. Our members are boating families who contribute to their communities by promoting safe boating through education, civic service, and their own responsible enjoyment of local waterways. We enjoy participating in activities with our fellow members on the water, in the classroom and beyond. USPS/America’s Boating Club has some 25,000 members organized into 350+ squadrons across the country and in some US territories. USPS has been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions. Learn boating skills / Engage in the fun / Connect with the boating community — We have it all!

"I do solemnly pledge to abide by the bylaws of the United States Power Squadrons; promote high standards of navigation and seamanship; maintain my boat and operate it legally; render assistance whenever possible; and conduct myself in a manner that will add prestige, honor and respect to the United States Power Squadrons."
