In 1941 Congress created a military
reserve and renamed the original volunteer reserve established in 1939 as the
"Coast Guard Auxiliary". The Purpose of the Auxiliary is outlined
in Title 14 of the United States Code 822. The mission of the Auxiliary is to
effect rescues on and over the high seas and on navigable waters; To promote
efficiency in the operation of motorboats and yachts; To foster a wider
knowledge of, and better compliance with, the laws, rules, and regulations
governing the operation of motorboats and yachts. To facilitate other
operations of the Coast Guard.
We are always looking for new members.
Our membership is made up of people whom are interested in boating and any
water-based activities. We also have pilots in our membership. Help do your
part to make boating safe. Train to teach boating safety classes, travel the
waters of Central Texas
