Community Service: Tree planting
On this past sunny drill Saturday, Lewis & Clark Young Marines were able to get out and do what we do best, community service! We joined Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership and spent a few hours planting trees. Thank you for having our group, we look forward to joining in more tree planting events in the future.

LCYM Anniversary: 21 Years
We’ve been in existence for 21 years as of October 2023, but whose counting?! Here’s to our next 21 years! Continued gratitude to our founding unit commander Mr. George Pobi and his initial staff (the plank owners!) who worked tirelessly to get this unit up and off the ground. Without their leadership and desire to succeed, we wouldn’t have had such a strong foundation to build on. Plank owner Doc Kurtz was on hand to witness the event. Fortuitous.
“Lewis & Clark Young Marines in Vancouver, Washington were recently awarded a prestigious 20-year anniversary certificate from YMHQ National Executive Director, Col Bill Davis and presented to them by their Assistant Division Commander, Nona Mallicoat. Recognized for their enduring commitment to ‘Strengthening the Lives of America’s Youth,’ they look forward to continuing their positive impact on the youth in their community and are eager to achieve even greater milestones ahead.” – Young Marines on Facebook
