What is The United States Power Squadrons
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 45,000 members organized into 450 squadrons across the country and in some US territories. USPS is America's largest non-profit boating organization and has been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions.
Tybee Light Power Squadron
Our Squadron was organized in 1957 and has been serving Savannah and a five county area (Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Effingham and Bullock) for over 50 years.
Tybee Light has been offering Boating Safety classes to the general public since the beginning.
· Tybee Light Power Squadron is an organization of men and women who are devoted to boating, both sail and power.
· We actively promote boating safety wherever we can.
· Through a national program, members assist National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in correcting nautical charts (called Co-op Charting). We are active in many civic projects such as; Clean Coast and the Dolphin Project. We organize and enjoy member cruises, fishing trips and other boating related activities — often with other squadrons.
We work in cooperation with the US Coast Guard to examine boats for safety equipment (Vessel Safety Check program).
