Thank you for considering joining the greatest fraternity of boaters in the United States. We're over 60,000 members strong in all fifty states. The Olympia squadron includes some 90+ members, of which about 40 are active and involved in our meetings and on-the-water activities. We're about evenly split between power boaters, sailors, and several members with no boats at all. So, regardless of your boating background or interest level, you'll definitely fit in, and we'd love to have you. No matter where you boat in the Washington area, we've got members there! Learn about more member benefits.

Perhaps the best way to get to know us is to take our public boating course or to come to one of our meetings.

The requirements for membership are simple:

1. Attend our Public Boating class, called "America's Boating Course".
2. Take and pass the easy exam at the end of the class.
3. Fill out an application.
4. Start coming to our classes and events.

Upon completion of our Boating Course, consider joining the Olympia Sail & Power Squadron and continuing your boating education by taking many of the advanced classes available. In addition, you can become part of a strictly volunteer, non-profit organization, that has an objective of Self-education, being a Fraternal Boating Club, and performing Civic Services. For a description of the many advantages of membership please see the Programs for Members web page

Boating Safety courses offered by some States and other organizations including the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary also qualify for membership in the United States Power Squadrons ®. For additional information go to the USPS National Membership Committee web site.
