Our Mission

As a fraternal, non-profit boating organization serving central South Carolina (known locally as the Midlands and home of the state capital, Columbia). our three-part mission includes the promotion of boating safety through education, civic service, and the enjoyment of boating (power and sail) activities and social functions among our membership. We seek to Learn, Engage and Connect. To learn more about our goals and objectives, check out our mission statement

America's Boating Club of Lake Murray has been serving central South Carolina since 1963. Originally known as Congaree Power Squadron, Lake Murray Power Squadron is part of something larger — the United States Power Squadrons®, which was organized in 1914 as a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in seamanship, navigation and related subjects. America's Boating Club® is a registered trademark of United States Power Squadrons, USPS is America's largest non-profit boating organization and has been honored by three U.S. presidents for its civic contributions. Our members are boaters and boating families who boat together, learn together, and contribute to their communities by promoting safe boating through education. America's Boating Club has over 20,000 members organized into more than 300 squadrons across the country. We are America's Boating Club of Lake Murray.
