WAYPOINTS - A GUIDE TO BOATING SAFETY

Waypoints - A Guide to Boating Safely, was written in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers. It is targeted to youth in grades 4-6. Its look and reading style (as well as the "One Minute Mysteries," which foster discussion) appeal to the 10-12 year old age range. It includes many of the main points of our adult 8-hr Boating Safely Course.

The book is available here in Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format (900KB) which requires the free Adobe Reader software for viewing and printing.

We Need You -- The Coast Guard Auxiliary is called upon to provide essential services to the Coast Guard as they focus more heavily on their military missions. We need all the help we can get. You needn't own a boat or be an experienced boater, since our missions are wide-ranging. For information about Auxiliary missions and the Auxiliary in general, go to our Join the Auxiliary web page. You will find there a form through which you can ask that a local Auxiliarist make contact with you to explore the ways in which you can assist Team Coast Guard. To learn more go to Charting Your Course in the USCG Auxiliary.
