Our instructors conduct a number of public seminars and advanced courses on a wide array of topics making boating safer and more enjoyable. The comprehensive public introductory boating class, America’s Boating Course, meets the certification requirements of the North Carolina State Law.
Our squadron also participates in local civic community events providing boating education information for both children and adults. Volunteers are involved in promoting National Safe Boating Week and proud to support Toys for Tots collection and the Salvation Army Bell Ringing effort. United States Power Squadron® has been honored by three US Presidents for its civic contributions.
Promoting boating safety is important to ABC-Pamlico. Our qualified members conduct free Vessel Safety Checks for local recretional boaters annually. Members are involved in the Cooperative Charting Project, a USPS and NOAA joint effort to maintain governmental waterway chart accuracy. Pictured to the right is Bill Waite, Dan Meyer and Ed Harris.
