The Northshore Beach Club House is having a flag dedication on June 14 around 12:30 and they have requested the presence of our scouts for the ceremony. The clubhouse is in R.P. off of Broadway on Clubhouse Drive. Take Clubhouse drive all the way down to the white building.
The Northshore beach association is generous enough each year to allow us to host our beach party. As they did last year, there will also be a movie on the beach at sunset. It will be a very long and fun day. It would be a nice offer of appreciation to have some of our scouts present for the flag dedication.
