Strengthing The Lives Of America's Youth
Meet the
Lapeer County Young Marines
Welcome to the Lapeer County Young Marines website! Our Unit has been an active part of Lapeer County since 1994.
The Young Marines is the official youth program of the Marine Corps League. Founded in 1958 to promote the mental, moral and physical development of young Americans, the Young Marines offer a variety of activities specifically designed to develop greater self-esteem, discipline and self-confidence in its members.
Character building is the cornerstone of the Young Marine program, and all of its activities emphasize the importance of honesty, courage, respect, loyalty, dependability, and a sense of devotion to God, country, community and family.
Physical Fitness, a healthy lifestyle, and respect for one's body are important tenets of the Young Marines. The Young Marines are committed to prevent obesity and encourage a strong, healthy community.
Being the official Drug Demand Reduction program of the U.S. Marine Corps Young Marines make a pledge to maintain a drug free lifestyle and are encouraged to influence family, friends, and schoolmates to share this commitment. Drug education and prevention classes are an integral part of the Young Marine education and training program.
The Young Marines is not a paramilitary group. We do not teach weaponry or carry weapons. We do not teach combat defenses or strategies, and we are not a military recruiting station for any of the branches of armed services.

The Young Marine Obligation
From this day forward, I sincerely promise,
I will set an example for all other youth to follow
and I shall never do anything that would bring disgrace or dishonor
upon my God, my Country and its flag, my parents, myself, or the Young Marines.
These I will honor and respect in a manner that will reflect credit upon them and myself.
Semper Fidelis (Latin, meaning "Always Faithful")
