Lake Merritt Council Navy League

The Lake Merritt Council of the Navy League of the United States, based in Alameda, CA, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine. Established in 1902 with the backing of President Theodore Roosevelt, the council aims to enhance the morale of sea service personnel and their families while advocating for the importance of these services to national defense and economic prosperity.

In addition to promoting the well-being of military personnel, the Lake Merritt Council also focuses on youth engagement through programs like the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps and Junior ROTC, which instill values associated with the sea services. The council regularly hosts events and activities that strengthen community ties and highlight the critical role of maritime forces in the United States.
