Fort Worth, Texas
The Fort Worth Sail and Power Squadron is a unit of the United States Power Squadrons (USPS),
a private, non-profit, non-governmental, and non-military organization of more than 35,000 men
and women who share a love of boating and a passion for promoting safe boating. USPS includes
about 450 squadrons (such as FWSPS) throughout the United States, and more distant areas,
where there are Americans interested in boating. It is the world's largest private boating organization,
and has been offering safe boating education to the public since it was organized in 1914.
The Fort Worth Sail and Power Squadron is one of 11 squadrons in
District 21, which covers Texas and Western Louisiana. Please go to the District 21 web site
for more information on the other squadrons, as well as on the District itself. A district is
an intermediate level organization between the individual squadrons and the national
organization. The district provides a way for squadrons in a geographic area to share ideas
and information, interact socially, and perform public services on a regional level.
