Coast Guard established by Congress in 1939to assist the Coast Guard in promoting
boating safety. Today the Auxiliary has nearly 33,000 members, men and women from
all walks of life
who receive special training so they may be an integral part of the
Coast
Guard forces.
Coast Guard Auxiliary members are active on the waterways and in
classrooms in
over 2,000 cities, and towns across the nation. Auxiliary members annually save almost
500 lives. Assist some 15,000 boaters in distress, conduct more than
150,000
courtesy vessel examinations of recreational vessels, and teach
over 500,000 students
in boating and water
safety. The results of
these efforts save you, the tax payers,
hundreds of millions
of dollars every
year.
