Our Mission Welcome to the Fort Lupton Young Marines site. We are a non-profit youth education and service program for boys and girls, ages 8 through the completion of High School. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral and physical development of its members. The program focuses on character building, leadership and promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. The Young Marines is the official program of the U.S. Marine Corp and the focal point for the Marine Corp's Youth Drug Demand Reduction efforts. The Ft Lupton unit was established in 2000 through volunteers from all branches of the military and with the efforts of parents who want to challenge their youth to a higher standard.

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 to my God, my country and it's 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!
