About the Auxiliary
Established by Congress in 1939, the Auxiliary
assists the Coast Guard in promoting boating safety. The Auxiliary's 35,000
plus members are drawn together by their love of the water and a willingness
to serve other boaters. Members also receive special training so that they
may be a functional part of Team Coast Guard, a role which continues to grow
as the Coast Guard expands its mission of Homeland Defense.
Auxiliarists assist the Coast Guard in non-law
enforcement programs such as public education, vessel safety checks, safety
patrols, search and rescue, marine environmental protection and Coast Guard
Academy introduction programs for youth. Auxiliarists volunteer more than 2
million hours annually to benefit other boaters and their families.
