‘scut·tle·butt:
A drinking
fountain in the Coast Guard is
called scuttlebutt. A scuttlebutt
in old days was a cask that had
openings in the side, fitted
with a spigot. Sailors used to
congregate at the scuttlebutt
or cask of water, to gossip or
report on day’s activities.*

SCUTTLEBUTT
initiatives and challenge all who
serve to do the same through
leadership, mentorship, service, and
example. As someone committed to
diversity, I understand that providing
training is one of the strategies that
helps build an inclusive environment,
which is crucial to attracting and
retaining top talent, building member
engagement, and fostering creativity
and innovation. Our Strategic Plan
for Managing Diversity will guide us
in our efforts towards accomplishing
this goal.
Diversity of thoughts, ideas, and
competencies of our people, keeps

Diversity is an imperative to the
Auxiliary; it can increase morale and
impact our success. In essence every
member is responsible for fostering
an inclusive team atmosphere and
being a contributing part of Team
Coast Guard.
The Auxiliary is committed to
creating a diverse and inclusive
environment, a journey guided by
the deeply held values of Honor,
Respect, and Devotion to Duty, as
America’s Guardians, we understand
that diversity is not a problem to
be solved, but is an asset to be
developed.
