 | As a fraternal, non-profit boating organization serving central South Carolina,
our three-part mission includes the promotion of boating safety through education,
civic service and the enjoyment of boating activities and social functions among our
membership. |
| The Lake Murray Power Squadron is one of approximately 450 squadrons in the
United States Power Squadrons. We are one of 13 squadrons in District 26,
which includes South Carolina and a portion of Georgia. Our squadron was chartered on
11 November 1963 as Congaree Power Squadron in Columbia, S.C. As you can
see, we are located in the center of the state. The name was changed in 1994.
|
| Dedicated to the promotion of boating safety through education, we teach a
boating course to the general public in the spring and fall. The course is taught by
knowledgeable members who have a love of boating, both sail and power.
|
| Lake Murray Power Squadron gives back to its community through a variety
of civic service activities. Among the most notable is the
maintenance of Lake Murray's system of reference lights. |
| Our members enjoy many social functions where we build friendships with
people of all ages and walks of life. At our home on Lake Murray, Flotilla
Island, we conduct advanced boating classes for our members and hold social
events including pig roasts, holiday celebrations, and numerous boating
activities. The combination of fun with educational opportunities and a
chance to serve the community have contributed to the success and growth of
our squadron. |
