Who We Are:
Welcome aboard! We are the Placer County of the Navy
League of the United States. We were chartered on December 4, 1956. We have
a current membership of about 200.
The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 with the encouragement of
President Theodore Roosevelt. The Navy League is unique among
military-oriented associations in that it is a civilian organization
dedicated to the education of our citizens, including our elected officials,
and the support of the men and women of the sea services and their families.
The objective and purpose of the Navy League is educational and motivational. We must
acquire and display before the citizens of our country information as to the conditions of
our naval and maritime forces. We must awaken interest and support in all matters which
aid our maritime capabilities.
 To
this end, the Navy League works closely with the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast
Guard, and US-flag Merchant Marine through a network of over 330 councils in
the United States and around the world. The Navy League has nearly 70,000
active members.
The Navy League supports America's young people through its youth
programs, including sponsorship of the US Naval Sea Cadet Corps, the Navy
League Scholarship Program, and the Samuel Eliot Morison Essay Contest.
Individual councils are also involved in promoting youth-oriented activities
in their communities such as NJROTC, MCJROTC, and ROTC units along with
other recognized youth programs. Local councils and national headquarters
provide over $250,000 scholarships and awards every year.
Navy League councils support active duty military personnel through
"adoption" of ships, installations, and units; commissioning ceremonies; award
programs; and other recognition programs.
Over the years, the Navy League has compiled an impressive record of
accomplishments. Today the Navy League is widely respected by citizens, community and
industrial leaders, and public officials. Navy League programs are welcomed in communities
throughout the nation, and members are recognized for their integrity and patriotism.
