WELCOME

 

     Welcome to the Patuxent River Council of the Navy League!  The Navy League was founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt and our Council has been active since Naval Air Stations Patuxent River was established during World War II.

The Navy League of the United States 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.  Any American citizen interested in supporting the United States sea services (US Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or Merchant Marine) is eligible for membership. Active duty military are not eligible for membership, but their spouses and families are eligible.

Our council prides itself on sponsoring numerous events that support the sailors and marines – and the families - of our sea services.  Our goal is to do whatever we can to support our young men and women in uniform - and if there was ever a time when the armed forces, and in particular the sea services, needed support - it's now.  Our Council is known for its annual schedule of prestigious dinner events featuring illustrious speakers from our local Naval Air Systems Command and the National Capital Region.  We have an unsurpassed record of commitment towards honoring young sailors, marines and Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets for their outstanding service.

We would appreciate your support and participation.  If you wish to join our Council please follow the links on this web site or feel free to contact one of the board members.
