We are one of eight squadrons that make up USPS District 29 which includes northwest
Ohio, northeast Indiana, and southeast Michigan. In 1953 the Lima Squadron was
chartered. We have about 100 members. United States Power Squadrons (USPS®) are
non-profit organizations. We are the largest and most respected
educational/fraternal boating organization on earth. We cover all 50 states,
and our purpose is to promote high standards of navigation and seamanship. Map Of Squadron Location.
Our function is threefold: the civic service of educating the boating public, the advanced education of our members, and fraternal boating activities.
Each year we promote and hold three to five Boating Safety

public at no charge (except for materials costs). Passing this course is a
prerequisite to becoming a member of USPS.
