Join us in commemorating the 100th anniversary of the United States Power Squadrons (USPS), founded in 1914. Under the leadership of Chief Commander Roger Upton, we'll reflect on our legacy of promoting high standards in navigation and seamanship. The celebratory events in Jacksonville include keynote speakers, a boat parade, and fireworks. Participate in our mission through civic service, education, and fellowship on the water. Together, let's strengthen our membership and continue making the water a better place for all.
