Welcome To Coast Guard Auxiliary Sierra Division 11
Welcome to the Division 11 web site. Division 11 is part of Coast Guard District 11 North, headquartered in Alameda, California. The members of our four flotillas participate
in Northern Nevada Boating activities. The Coast Guard Reserve Act of 1939
was passed by Congress and created what is now known as the Coast Guard
Auxiliary. During World War II, the Auxiliary was integral in performing
Port Security, a mission that has taken on greater significance since the
Auxiliary now works closely with the Coast Guard in maintaining security
of our country.
The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is best known for Boating Education and Vessel Safety Checks. These are two of the four "Cornerstones" of the Auxiliary. The third cornerstone of the Auxiliary is Operations. This is one area that Division 11 emphasizes and we participate in Safety Patrols, regatta patrols, checking aids to navigation, and search and rescue. The fourth Cornerstone of the Auxiliary and its 29,000 members is Fellowship. The volunteers of the Auxiliary strive to "Make a Difference" and we take great pride in our work. We not only teach the public but also each other. Members of the Auxiliary become good friends who share a common goal, the enjoyment of boating in the outdoors of Northern Nevada and California. If you have an interest in joining us, please contact the Flotilla nearest you.
