8th District, Western Rivers Region,
Beaver Lake Flotilla 56
Rogers , Arkansas

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was created by Congress in 1939 as an all volunteer civilian component of the United States Coast Guard with these stated purposes:

• To promote safety and to effect rescues on and over the high seas and on navigable waters;

• To promote efficiency in the operation of motorboats and yachts;

• To foster a wider knowledge of and better compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations governing the operation of motorboats;

• To facilitate other operations of the U.S. Coast Guard.

The USCG Auxiliary, today, is the only civilian boating organization with such official recognition.

Following its original charge, the USCG Auxiliary today is operating from a foundation of four cornerstones:  member services, recreational boating safety, Coast Guard & state support and fellowship.

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, Beaver Lake Flotilla serves the boating public in Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale, Fayetteville, and all the other communities around Beaver Lake, Northwest Arkansas's premier pleasure boating and sport fishing lake.

BOAT SAFE!     BOAT SMART!     BOAT SOBER!

The members of Flotilla 56 wish to extend their gratitude to all of the courageous men and women who have faithfully and honorably served, and continue to serve, the United States of America in the Armed Services.
				"We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free." President Ronald Reagan Pointe-du-Hoc, Normandy, France June 6, 1984
