Flotilla 52

 located in Springfield Missouri

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is the volunteer, civilian, non-military arm of the U.S. Coast Guard.   Established by Congress in 1939, it serves the boating public by teaching boating safety classes, providing boat safety checks, and doing safety patrols on nearby lakes.  Auxiliarists also assist the regular Coast Guard in many additional ways.

Flotilla meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 1900 (7 PM) at 1752 N. Deffer Ave, Nixa, MO.  Anyone interested in boating safety or joining the Auxiliary is welcome to attend.

We encourage every boat owner to have their boat safety checked every year.  You may schedule a vessel safety check by calling one of our Flotilla officers listed below, or E-mail us and we will contact you to schedule a time and a place.

If you live in the Lebanon, Missouri area, we are in the process of forming a Detachment in Lebanon.  For details about the new formation browse the Lebanon Detachment webpage. Contact Chase Waggoner the Officer in Charge of the Lebanon Detachment at  417-532-5924
