Sail and Power Boating

Chartered in September 2001, with 62 charter members, the Mid-Potomac Power Squadron is one of the youngest squadrons in District 5 of the United States Power Squadrons. USPS® is America’s largest and oldest nonprofit recreational / educational boating organization and is dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in basic boating, seamanship, navigation and related subjects. Our members are boating families who contribute to their community by promoting safe boating through education and participate in a wide variety of social activities, both on and off the water, such as dinners, rendezvous (joint multi-squadron on water events), and cruises.
