The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
was founded by Congress in 1939. It is composed of unpaid US citizen from age
17 and above who volunteer their time helping out the United States Coast
Guard. The Auxiliary primary missions are teaching boating
safety courses, vessel examinations and
operations. The Auxiliary frees up the Coast Guard time so they can perform
more important duties and saves taxpayers millions of dollars.
The Auxiliarists are extensively trained
by both the Coast Guard and the experienced Auxiliarists. Some of our training
materials are the same materials that the Coast Guard uses to teach their
cadets. This is a volunteer organization, so we take no role in military
actions or law enforcement. In other words, we do not mount guns on our boat
nor write citation.
District 9 Eastern - Division 4 is
located in Rochester, NY and is represented by
5 flotillas. If you have any questions or
comments, please do not hesitate to
Contact us.
