Evansville Bend Sail and Power Squadron is a Unit of District 24  of the United  States Power Squadrons. ®.  Many Districts and Squadrons have their own web sites. Be sure to visit the sites and learn more about the Power Squadron experience and the USPS history. The USPS is a unique, private, self-sustaining fraternal organization dedicated to boating safety, through education with NO Government support or connection. It's members are not only self- educated, but freely offer instruction to anyone who will attend its classes in small boat handling. The only compensation these active members receive for the substantial effort they personally perform in furthering the interests, programs and objectives of USPS, its districts and squadrons, or a combination of these areas, is a MERIT MARK CERTIFICATE, awarded by the Chief Commander for their work in the squadron. A member may receive only one MERIT MARK in a calendar year, regardless of the amount of work accomplished at the Squadron, District, or National level. A MERIT MARK CANNOT BE BOUGHT!
