Eighth District Coastal Region, Division 1  Flotilla 1-9 Panama City Beach, Florida

 HOME PAGE

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was established by Congress in 1939 to assist the Coast Guard in promoting boating safety. It includes more than 30,000 members...from all walks of life who receive special training so that they may be a functional part of Coast Guard Forces. Auxiliarists assist the Coast Guard in non-law enforcement programs such as public education, vessel safety checks, safety patrols, search and rescue, maritime security and 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.

Each year, Auxiliarists save over 500 lives, assist over 15,000 boaters in distress, conduct more than 150,000 courtesy vessel examinations of recreational boats, and teach over 500 students in boating and water safety courses. The results of these efforts saves taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
