Maine Points: U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian component of Coast Guard Forces. Founded in 1939 by an Act of Congress as the US Coast Guard Reserves and re-designated the Auxiliary in 1941. It serves you through boating-safety classes, vessel safety checks, and safety patrols on the water and in the air. Members of the Auxiliary have no law-enforcement powers and issue no permits. The 26,000 volunteer members (men and women) donate thousands of hours in support of Coast Guard missions.

Danny is joined by Peter Poulin, FC and Public Affairs Staff Official Tom Roche with U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary / Casco Bay Flotilla 2-1.

The purpose of this program is to let our Mainers know about volunteer opportunities with U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
