Our members are boating families who contribute to their communities by promoting safe boating through education. We enjoy participating with our fellow members on the water, in the classroom, and out of the water events. We are a nonprofit, volunteer organization for those interested in all types of boating.
United States Power Squadrons® are dedicated to making boating safer through education.oLocal squadrons may teach a class near you soon.

We are more than your connection to the water.

We are your source for unsurpassed education, community service and your access to a membership built by boaters, for boaters.

For more than a century we’ve been steadfast in the belief that an educated boater is a better boater, a safer boater.

We’ve kept our promise to continue learning, teaching, laughing and helping our fellow members enjoy boating.

We look forward to helping you build a lifetime of memories and welcome you to a membership that delivers beyond boating.

Introducing AMERICA'S BOATING CLUB (0:30) - YouTube

District 7, a unit of America's Boating Club^®, was founded in 1937.

Currently, we have 10 squadrons covering portions of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. America’s Boating Club^® (AKA United States Power Squadrons^® ) is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in seamanship, navigation and related subjects.

Each squadron's activities involve the three primary objectives of USPS and D/7: community service, continuing education, and enjoying the friendship and camaraderie of our fellow members.

Activities of our squadrons are many and varied. They include on the water rendezvous and cruises; dinner meetings and picnics; district and national conferences; interesting programs; visiting with other boaters. Refer to our calendar and other pages for more information.
