Welcome to the Flotilla 4-11, District 5NR Web Site

 Greetings from Flotilla 4-11 - Main Line, PA 

 USCGAUX logo ABOUT THE COAST GUARD AUXILIARY

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is the uniformed, all-volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard. The Auxiliary was created by an Act of Congress in 1939, and has grown to over 32,000 members who daily support the Coast Guard in all its non-military and non-law-enforcement missions. We have members and units in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam.

Auxiliary members conduct safety patrols on local waterways, assist in Search and Rescue, teach boating safety classes, conduct free vessel safety checks for the public, provide boating safety literature to dealers, as well as many other activities related to recreational boating safety.

The Coast Guard considers the Auxiliary its primary resource for recreational boating safety outreach and prevention (see the message "From the Commandant"), and each Coast Guard district around the nation has established a senior officer and staff to provide tight liaison and coordination between the active-duty Coast Guard and the various Auxiliary units in that district.

And in many inland portions of the country, where the majority of U.S. recreational boating occurs on lakes and rivers, the Auxiliary is the sole Coast Guard presence!

But the Auxiliary is more than recreational boating safety; we regularly serve alongside our active-duty shipmates serving as communications watch standers, uninspected passenger vessel inspectors, training resources for air and sea operations, numerous duties related to environmental protection and homeland security, and even as chefs! In fact, there are nearly two dozen "qualifications" open to Auxiliarists willing to put in the time and training. Collectively, Auxiliarists volunteer over 4.5 million hours per year and complete nearly 500,000 missions – a true force multiplier for the Coast Guard!

Membership in the Auxiliary is open to persons 17 years of age and older. We are organized into 16 districts nationwide, comprised of 171 divisions with approximately 980 flotillas. No matter where you live, there is a flotilla near you. Find the unit nearest your Zip Code go to Find a Flotilla. And for dozens of reasons why you should join, visit Join Us Now.

Flotilla 053-04-11 and Our Mission:

    Our flotilla promotes sailing and power boating with experienced members for both . We have activities that cater to either or both throughout the year while serving the USCG Auxiliary and USCG missions. Access to many courses and the local experience of our members provides a resource for members to increase their knowledge and safety on the water. Social events further enhance our activity as members bring a seafaring approach to our camaraderie and service. 

   We strongly support new members and those that wish to further their knowledge of the sea. Our meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month via at St David's Episcopal Church, 763 S Valley Forge Rd, Wayne, PA 19087. We look forward to seeing you whether for an exploratory visit or to join.
