Finding us
The squadron meets in the fenced Coast Guard building just outside the Coast Guard Base entrance at St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport. Set your navigation to 15100 Rescue Way, Clearwater, FL 33762 — you are looking for the building in front of the base gate, not the gate itself.
If it is your first visit, it is worth calling ahead so someone can meet you at the door.
Before your first visit
You do not need a uniform, an application, or any aviation background to attend your first meeting — just come and see what the squadron does. Parents are encouraged to attend with prospective cadets.
Let us know whether you are interested as a cadet (ages 12–18), an adult volunteer, or an educator, and we will point you to the right person.
Every dollar stays with the squadron.
Help fund the uniforms, equipment, training, and experiences that build tomorrow’s leaders.
