© 2011 - Skokie Valley Sail and Power Squadron
The United States
Power Squadrons® are the world’s largest boating non-profit organization,
comprised of men and women who are socially compatible and have a common
love and appreciation of recreational boating.
Established in 1914, United States Power Squadron has some 60,000
members organized into 450 squadrons across the country and in the U.S.
territories and has been honored by four U.S. Presidents for its civic
contributions and educating more than 4 million boaters in the last
half-century.
Skokie Valley Power Squadron was formed in the fall of 1961, to serve
the rapidly growing area lying between the Evanston, Chicago, and Waukegan
Power Squadrons, we now cover the north, northwest, and western suburbs.
Our members are
boating families who contribute to their communities by promoting safe
boating on the water and by offering boating safety courses for the
public several times each year.
In addition to public boating classes, we offer in-depth educational
opportunities for squadron members. We have experienced instructors
teaching courses on Seamanship, Piloting and Position Finding, Celestial
Navigation, Marine Electronics, Weather, Sailing, Engine Maintenance,
Cruise Planning and much more.
We get together during the fall, winter, and spring for dinner
meetings at various restaurants. Summer activities include cruises for
trailer boaters, sail boaters, and power boaters on small lakes, Lake
Michigan, and river trips.
Becoming a member of the squadron requires passing a boating safety
course taught by a local squadron or approved by Unites States Power
Squadrons®, this boating course meets the educational requirements for
boat operation in all states
