The US Coast Guard Auxiliary
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the uniformed
civilian component of the Coast Guard established by Congress in
1939 to assist in promoting boating safety. It boasts nearly
30,000 members from all walks of life who receive special
training so that they may be an integral part of Team Coast
Guard. Auxiliarists assist the Coast Guard in non-law
enforcement programs such as public education, vessel safety
checks, safety patrols, search and rescue, marine environmental
protection and Coast Guard Academy introduction programs for
youth. Auxiliarists donate more than 2 million hours annually to
benefit other boaters and their families.

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary's Flotilla 4-3 is located in Palo
Alto, California of the South Bay Area. Our activities in
supporting the US Coast Guard include but are not limited to:
performing courtesy Vessel Safety Checks, hosting Public
Education classes in the field of boating safety, participating
