Welcome to the US Coast Guard Auxiliary Recreational Boating Safety Wiki (or AuxBDeptWiki). This site serves as a clearinghouse for information about the Coast Guard Auxiliary's collaborative efforts with other organizations. We currently have sections about:

• Boy Scouts of America
• States

Additional sections will be developed over time. We welcome your recommendations for sections we should consider developing, or any other recommendations for improving this resource. Please email us.

Recreational Boating Safety Websites

The Coast Guard Auxiliary's Recreational Boating Safety Directorate includes three departments. Each department maintains a website with a wealth of boating safety information:

• Boating Department
• Education Department
• Vessel Examination Department

Additionally, the U.S. Coast Guard's Boating Safety Division maintains a highly informative recreational boating safety website.

Help Build this Wiki

We are looking for Auxiliarists who have experience building partnerships between the Coast Guard Auxiliary and other organizations. Our initial focus is documenting cooperative projects between the Auxiliary and the Boy Scouts of America, as well as between the Auxiliary and state boating law administrators.
