Coos Bay Power Squadron, located on Coos Bay on the South Oregon Coast is a unit of District 32 of United States Power Squadrons®. An organization of men and women bonded together in the interest of Safe Boating through Education.
Coos Bay Power Squadron was chartered in 1959, and since then our members have taught boating skills and safety to hundreds of fledgling and long time boaters. Many have joined the Squadron and improved their personal boating skills by taking the courses offered to members through United States Power Squadrons®.
