National Safe Boating Week! Security Levels |
Welcome to Division 6, 5NRThe Penn-Jersey Division
Welcome to Division 6, The Penn-Jersey Division, of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was established by Congress in 1939 and is 38,000 strong. It is the only volunteer member of the Department of Homeland Security. Division 6 is a proud member of the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary serving the boating public with flotillas on both sides of the Delaware River in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The members of Division 6 are a diverse group of individuals contributing to a common cause, Boating Safety. Also, along with Boating Safety we participate in many more programs that include supporting the United States Coast Guard. Auxiliarists provide direct operational and administrative support to many local Coast Guard units. You can wear the Coast Guard Auxiliary uniform and become part of Team Coast Guard. When you qualify through training, you can take part in Search and Rescue operations, stand radio watch at the Coast Guard Station, work with the Marine Safety Office on pollution matters, work in the Recruiting Office or there are many more opportunities available. One of the Auxiliary’s cornerstones is Fellowship – the good company of other Auxiliarists at meetings and training sessions, on patrols and other missions, and at ceremonies and social events. One of he Auxiliary's trademarks is good old-fashioned hospitality. Friends, neighbors and interested members of the public, are always welcome to attend one of our flotilla meetings. In addition, dedication to boating safety provides the atmosphere for getting together to swap boating experiences and participate in cruises and rendezvous. You will find a special camaraderie among Auxiliarists that is hard to beat. There is time to relax and have fun at Auxiliary outings, training sessions, patrols, vessel safety checks, classes, and conferences. Auxiliarists make lasting, meaningful friendships. Knowing that you belong to a special group of people and directly participate in helping save lives gives your Auxiliary membership a special meaning. If you are a U.S. citizen and 17 years of age or older you can join the Auxiliary and enjoy the benefits and fellowship of belonging to fantastic volunteer organization; where you can promote boating safety while enriching your own life through a tremendous educational program that is free to all members. |
