AUXILIARY |
Loyal Escorts of the Green Garter
This chapter is strong because of our auxiliary members, the Loyal Escorts of the Green Garter. They complete the chapter and assist in many of our projects. If you'd like to join us, but were not a Marine, this is how you do it!

YOUNG MARINES |
Colorado Young Marines
The Young Marines in the 1st Colorado Battalion assist the Women Marines Association and we provide assistance to them when possible. We instituted a “manners” lesson for the Buckley Field unit in 2005 and taught that annually until the unit took over doing it themselves. This prepares the young people for their YM Birthday Ball in October.
The Young Marines is a youth education and service program for boys and girls, ages 8 through completion of high school. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical development of its members. The program focuses on character building, leadership, and promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. The Young Marines is the focal point for the U.S. Marine Corps' youth Drug Demand Reduction efforts. The Young Marines are a non-profit Youth Organization and serve the Aurora, Colorado surrounding area. The Buckley Field unit meets every Tuesday evening at the Army National Guard Armory on Potomac St. in Aurora. Their staff is made up entirely of volunteers. These volunteers are former, reserve and active military members and civilians. |
