Thank you for your interest in joining the Young Marines of the Palm Beaches. 

To become a Young Marine, all youth members must complete Recruit Training. Recruit Training is designed to teach the recruits the basics of what it means to be a Young Marine. Recruits will learn:
  • Teamwork, Leadership, and Discipline
  • Close Order Drill
  • Military Terms and Jargon
  • Marine Corps Enlisted Rank Structure
  • Uniform Care and Maintenance
  • Physical Fitness
  • Military Customs and Courtesies
  • And More!
Things you need to know before joining:  
  • Youth members must be at least 8 years old and have not completed High School.
  • At least one parent/legal guardian and all youths to be registered must attend an Orientation/Registration.

You will also need the following. 
  • Birth Certificate and Social Security Card (for verification purposes only)
  • Immunization Record
  • Recent Physical Exam or School Sports Physical (less than one year old)
  • Copy of Medical Insurance Card (front and back)

    An additional waiver form will be required for our meeting location.
Membership Registration Fees - $450.00
$150 is due at the time of registgration to cover the local and national registration fees for Poolees and Recruits. Recruits will pay the balance of $300 at approximately week 8 
to pay for uniforms, sea bag, rucksack, Camelbak hydration system, and many other gear requirements

Each fall, a re-registration fee is due for those who choose to continue with the unit for the next fiscal year. This fee is waived for anyone who joined in the summer. This fee is $80 for 2022 but will increase to $100 in 2023.

More information will be provided at Orientation/Registration; we ask those interested in our program to contact us about coming to one of our drills on a Wednesday night (usually at 6:30 p.m.) to meet us and get an introduction to our program. Formal group orientations are scheduled before our new Recruit Training sessions begin--usually in July or August and again in January or February. Please see our unit website at palmbeachym.org for more details.

Become an Adult Volunteer.
We need adults to help us run the program. If you would like to help, and are age 18 or older with at least a high school diploma or equivalent, speak to our Unit Commander. If the Unit Commander approves, we will do a background check and check
character references for the safety of our youth. While military experience is helpful, it is not required.
