Citizens in support of the Sea Services
We are the Navy League of The United States Bremerton-Olympic Peninsula Council. We are the largest council in the Pacific Northwest. Our Council was recognized with the Outstanding Council Award and the Adopted Unit Excellence Award for the past five years.
Our Mission:
1. Enhances the morale of sea service personnel and their families through national and council level programs.
2. Supports youth through programs, that expose young people to the values of our sea services.
3. Is a powerful voice to educate the public and Congress of importance to our nation’s defense, well-being and economic prosperity.
The strength of our Council is our membership. Our Corporate Members and Sponsors, Business Associates, Community Affiliates and donors provide the financial resources that allow the Council to carry out its mission. Our individual members volunteer and do the work that accomplishes the mission throughout the year. Our Council has adopted USS WASHINGTON, USS HENRY M JACKSON, USS MAINE, Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific, Marine Corps Security Force Battalion Bangor, USCG Maritime Force Protection Unit Bangor, USCG Air Station Port Angeles, and USCGC Active. In 2024 we provided over $17,300 of awards and support to the Sailors, Marines, Spouses and Students of those units. We have also adopted 6 local NJROTC Units and the Scorpion Squadron, Wolf Squadron and Coast Guard Cutter Cedar Sea Cadets. Last year we provided over $6500 in scholarships and support to these NJROTC and Sea Cadet units. Each year we support the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair with $2500 in scholarships and volunteer judges. We host Welcome to Kitsap events for Navy and Cast Guard Units changing homeport to Naval Base Kitsap, most recently USS TOPEKA. Our monthly luncheons and tours provide education and information to both our members and to the general public. Annually we organize and coordinate the Armed Forces Day Gala and Memorial Day ceremony in Bremerton and the Veterans Day ceremony at the Kitsap County Pavilion.
Thank you to Navy Leaguers for your contributions and service, and thank you to our corporate members, donors, business associates, and community affiliate members.
