Welcome to the Flotilla 23-1, District 5SR Web Site
Members conduct over 20 safety, regatta and special event operational patrols each boating season, stand radio watches, teach boating safety courses, perform vessel safety checks, assist the community with marine events, and directly support U.S. Coast Guard Station Annapolis and Sector Maryland–National Capital Region in several mission areas. There are nearly 50 qualifications available to auxiliary members who are willing to put in the required time and training http://www.cgaux.org/memberdeck/qualifications.php.
On average, our members volunteer over 9,500 hours of service each year. Based on the current value of the volunteer hour, this equates to $192,375 dollars in labor to the U.S. Coast Guard. This figure does not take into account the amount of property or lives that were saved as a result of Auxiliary efforts. The Volunteer Guardians of Annapolis video below provides an overview of who we are and what we do. If you are interested in learning more about the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Flotilla 23-01, please contact our Human Resources (FSO-HR) staff officer at [email protected]. Welcome aboard!
