The US Power Squadrons is a civilian membership organization devoted to promoting boating safety through education. The Power Squadrons grew out of exclusive yacht clubs of the Northeastern United States. These yacht clubs used military terminology and military type uniforms. Power Squadrons honor this yachting tradition but are neither military nor government organizations.

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 boating through education. We enjoy participating with our fellow members on the water and in the classroom. USPS has some 60,000 members organized into 450 squadrons across the country and in some US territories. USPS is the world's largest non-profit boating organization and has been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions.
