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
