Flotilla 5-8 US Coast Guard Auxiliary

 U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary

A Proud Tradition, A Worthy Mission

The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is the largest volunteer marine safety organization in the world and has fostered similar ones in foreign countries.  The Auxiliary is made up of Districts, Divisions and Flotillas.

The auxiliary also has a motto of "Semper Paratus" (Always Ready) which it has always lived up to.

Flotilla 5-8 was founded as the Old Colony Flotilla, part of the Hub Division (Division 5). Our Mission is to Serve the Coast Guard, the maritime community and the boating public with skilled, knowledgeable, and willing members.

Some programs Flotilla 5-8 participate in are:

  • Marine Safety and Environmental Protection (MSEP)
  • Operational support to the Coast Guard (OPS)
  • Radio watch standing (RWS)
  • Port Safety and Security (PS&S)
  • Public Affairs support (PA)
  • Public Education (PE)
  • Recreational Boating Safety (RBS)
