The Crow's Nest was founded on January 27, 1942. Located adjacent to the War Memorial, St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, it is a private Club which carries with it a long and varied tradition. The Club, in operation for almost 60 years, has become a museum of sorts, housing hundreds of military artifacts. The picture displays the original building of the Crow's Nest, where the Club is still located today.

Welcome to the Crow’s Nest Officers’ Club web site. If you are a Club member, you will find the latest edition of Scuttlebutt and information on events. If you are a visitor, I hope you will enjoy this brief introduction to the Club and our services. One of my favourite quotes about the Nest comes from British Admiral Sir Percy Noble, who claimed that the Crow’s Nest was the repository of the legend and lore of the brave men who saved not only Britain but perhaps freedom itself! For a small garret at the top of 59 steps, that is an incredible accolade. It falls to the executive to ensure that the Club continues to thrive as a living memorial to those brave men as well as meet the needs of the current membership. During the past few years, we have worked hard to strike this balance and it appears to have paid off. Membership has never been higher and many functions are sold out weeks in advance. I am pleased to report that our efforts to preserve and promote the Club’s history and artefacts have been noticed by others. In the past year we have received two awards jointly with the Crow’s Nest Military Artefacts Association which owns the artefacts displayed in the Nest. The Historic Sites Association presented us with the Manning Award in the National Category and during his first visit to the Nest, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Walter Natynczyk, presented us with the CDS’s Coin for Excellence. The Nest is a busy place these days and we are pleased that you stopped by to check it out. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments. Yours aye, Gary E.H. Green, President
